So there's enough to go around here, but the disturber for me for sure is going to be San Jose in the two hole at the draft.

Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Yeah, I would say so.

You know, the thing with McKenna, and I put it in my piece today too, like I really am splitting hairs between these athletes at the top of the table.

And the differentiator for me between McKenna and Stenberg is like we drafted Alexander Barkov in Florida years ago.

Stenberg's a winger, but he plays that style of hockey.

He's really buttoned up.

We didn't win the cup.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Thanks, bud.

He's going to be electric, and he's going to do some things that are going to โ€“ he might be the guy that scores that Patrick Kane-esque type of goal to get a team over the top in the Stanley Cup.

So the difference here is that one is more trustworthy on projection in all three zones than the other, but that doesn't mean you don't take the risk on McKenna.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Somebody could take McKenna first.

Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Maybe the Leafs do.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer

I mean, I can't sit here and argue it.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer

But Gavin McKenna, 51 points, including an eight-point outing against Ohio State.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

And by the way, when he suffered that off-ice incident, everywhere he went, you know this better than anybody because you see these guys around, you know, at the pro level especially.

Every building becomes a hard building, doesn't it?

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Like, they're all over you.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups Jason Bukala (5/6/26)

Like, the place is sold out because they want to see you.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer

Now it's exponentially more difficult to perform at a high level because there's extra stress.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer

And he did a hell of a job.
