Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Group's Jason Bukala (1/9/26) · 9 Jan 2026 podcast

I think he's a later than sooner.

I think he's going to meet another year in college.

Now, they're obviously going to probably –

need a year in college as well but I go back to my time with Aaron Eckblad when we drafted him in Florida years and years ago and I don't think for one second the Verhoff statistical analysis would be that much different than than Aaron Eckblad who went first overall for us to be drafted in Philadelphia that year and

And when you grab these right-shot defensemen in that ilk who are two-way, better than secondary offense, think the game, they've got length, they've got size, all these things, it means a lot to me.

And I thought Verhoff was steady strong.

He didn't start the tournament.

He didn't get in.

He only played four games.

But when he got in, and you could just see the growth in his game every step of the way.

And to your point, he created some offense at even strength.

And let me tell you something.

He took away time and space.

Yeah, there was a few turnovers in there.

But when a defenseman makes a turnover, it's like a goalie laying in an apple from the middle of the ice in the neutral zone.

Everybody sees it.

What you don't see with a forward sometimes is all the details because when they cut corners, somebody else has to clean up their mess.

There's some growth there that McKenna still needs to come to the table with for me.

All right.

Yeah, at Pro Hockey Group, my team leads up or heads up our social media presence there with a lot of player analysis, a lot of updates on what's going on around the world with prospects, and they'll take a follow there.
