NHL Prospect Says A Team Asked Him About His SnapChat Score, Uber Rating

The puck only drops to start the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, but we're already looking ahead to the NHL Draft with some of the prospects who will hear their names being read taking part in the NHL Scouting Combine this week in Buffalo.

And that's where one unnamed team had a very interesting question for a prospect.

Zayne Parekh is a defenseman who spent the last two seasons with the OHL's Saginaw Spirit and plenty of draft pontificators have him as a likely top 10 pick.

Buffalo sports anchor Lindsey Moppert posted a video of Parekh talking about his experience at the Combine and revealed that the strangest question he was asked by an NHL team was what his Uber rating and Snapchat score are.

"MY Uber rating and my Snapchat score, that was the only time I got that this weekend," Parekh said. "That was the two [questions] that stood out."

As odd as it is, I don't think that's a bad question at all. The way I see it, you want a player with a high Uber rating because that denotes a strong character. Meanwhile, I figure you want a low Snapchat score because that would denote a player who doesn't waste their time trying to juice their Snapchat score.

A reporter asked Parekh if he had a bad Uber rating, and he shot that assertion down in a hurry.

"No, I have a good one," he said. "I use Uber a lot it's a 4.92 which could be better, but it's kind of up there."

Kind of up there? That's phenomenal. It's four-hundredths of my 4.88 and I'm regarded as one of the nation's premiere ride-share passengers (It should be perfect, but I guess I wasn't chatty enough one time. Sorry for not wanting to yuk it up with the stranger who is driving me to the airport thanks to a legalized hitch-hiking app).

That's what you want to see if you're whatever NHL team it was that ran out of normal questions and asked this.

Now that Snapchat score? Parekh would rather keep that one personal.

"I'll keep that to myself," he said. "I don't know if they want me throwing a bunch of stuff out."

Where Parekh will end up is anyone's guess. After Macklin Celebrini goes first overall to the Sharks it becomes a little wide open. However, he's a puck-moving D-man with one hell of an Uber rating, and I think there are a lot of teams who would be happy with that.
