Jason Bukala

It's also kind of in the Jordan Stahl realm.

Like, there are lower-end outcomes here.

But when you do watch him play and when you see the playmaking and when you see...

how he combines his physical play, how long he is, how disruptive he is.

Like, I get it.

You know, and again, by the way, I would say Caleb Malhotra, despite being 6'2", is also a victim of the dumb size thing because his reach is so massive.

That while he's listed at 6'2", I think he's got the sort of defensive impact of, like, a 6'4 guy.

Like, I would say this, too.

Huge guy.

Like, 6'2 sounds great, but it's actually underselling.

It's actually underselling how disruptive and long he is.

Yeah.

And, like, you know who another guy who was like this, even though he was massive, was Anze Kopitar.

Sure.

Anze Kopitar was 6'4", listed 6'4".

But, like, I swear he took up the entire ice.

Yes.

And there was a difference because of his length.

between like him as an elite defensive player and David Backus is an elite defensive player, you know, in any event, I'm still sort of trying to figure out how you parse this, but kind of where I'm coming down is like, I think there's this tier of clean bets and that's sort of how I'd frame it after McKenna.

I think McKenna is the cleanest superstar level bet in the draft.
