It is a meeting point for agents and team executives in addition to the tests and interviews with the draft eligible prospects.
The Avalanche in particular might have found traction on a new deal with Jonathan Drouin during one of these meetings.

Despite this progress Utah is still expected to go with the generic name and branding for the 2024-25 season if these registered logos are any indication. Looks like a color scheme for Yeti if you ask me.
