Every year there is a player who dazzles the scouts with his strength or personality, while others hurt themselves with the lack of the above points. Some guys can save their free fall after struggling down the stretch.

So is their a player who needs the combine more then Kirill Kabanov this year? Can he get back in the good books with NHL scouts? Will he be back in the QMJHL next season, and with who? We asked his agent J.P. Barry of CAA those kinds of questions Tuesday night.

"Every once in a while you represent a player who's not getting a lot of attention, and I think at the start of the year Freddie was probably rated 5th or 6th round. What people don't know is he's a 99.5 per cent average in high school in Ontario, I think that puts him in the top 5 of the province, while playing hockey. Both his parents are 2 time Olympians, he has a incredible work ethic and he's one of those players I think where ever he goes he's gonna be a pro."
Barry talked to us about some of the bizarre questions players are getting asked this week and whether or not agents get to sit in with the players during the interview process.
Barry also represents Oilers prospect Toni Rajala and filled us in on his immediate future. Will it be in North America or Finland next year. For all that and more, click here to listen to the entire interview.
