Patrick, who has 13 team interviews this week, also sat down with the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The Sabres have the No. 8 pick in the first round; the Jets have the No. 13 pick.
"The Winnipeg interview was good," Patrick said. "They know me pretty well already, so they were just getting a little background stuff. All the interviews went well and my first day of meetings were fun."
Patrick said if medically cleared he wants to take part in the physical testing at the combine. All players must be medically cleared by the NHL combine medical staff in order to participate. Any player who is not 100 percent able to perform an upper- or lower-body test because of postseason surgery, current injury or rehabilitation or medical condition will be classified as injury- or medically-exempt, depending on the circumstances.
Patrick, 18, winner of the Canadian Hockey League Sherwin-Williams Top Prospect Award during the CHL Awards ceremony on Saturday, will take his medical exam Wednesday. He missed 35 regular-season games because of an upper-body injury this season and four first-round Western Hockey League playoff games with a lower-body injury.
Patrick had 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists) in 33 games; his 1.39 points per game average was 10th in the WHL. In 2015-16, Patrick was fifth in the WHL with 102 points (41 goals, 61 assists) in 72 games, and tied for the WHL scoring lead with 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 21 games and was named playoff MVP.
"I do want to go through all the testing if I'm cleared to do so," Patrick said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing and some of these tests I haven't done. I don't want to leave the combine knowing I wasn't able to do all the tests because you are only here once. Hopefully I get to go-ahead to go through it all."
