Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Sportsnet Writer Jason Bukala (12/3/25) · 4 Dec 2025 podcast

Essentially.

This kid here has always had outstanding crease composure.

He started with the national team programs in Sweden as a double underage and worked his way through the system.

He was the top goaltender for me back then on on my list.

I've always thought that I was looking back at some of my reports today because obviously he's he's been in the news here lately and I referenced some pretty like some pretty high end goal.

I packed

I was in Nashville when we had Peccareni there and I'm not saying this guy's gonna be a Hall of Famer, so don't get me wrong.

But what I said in there is that he's got the big save capabilities in one of my reports of Pekarini, but he's he's much more composed in the crease compared to a younger Pecca Rennie.

Pekka was a little bit athletic, but he used his body, his he got in the way because of his size.

This kid is dialed in.

He's a future number one.

Um and I I don't know, like I I don't know what the strategy

Strategy was there, it's it's obviously easier in hindsight.

I've made a ton of mistakes on the draft floor myself as a director.

I don't want to throw rocks at a glass house, but this kid's uh he's a legit number one goalie.

Yeah, the pro hockey group, I founded it uh after I got let go in Florida.

Basically what we do is uh we provide uh the game reports, the infrastructure for I was a partner at Cat Friendly before and now Puckpedia, and all of my uh all the reporting that my staff does, we insulate that and deliver it to Sportsnet and all of our colleagues at Sportsnet for the draft, for player development purposes, for trade purposes.

So basically we have a book of uh literally thousands of reports on players around the world previously drafted and developing and then organizational intel.

So it's like an NHL uh scouting department right here at Sports Net and I also have a partnership with the NHL network in the States.
