## Resource

The 2026 NHL Draft is finally upon us, and to preview the big weekend in Buffalo, co-hosts Adam Kimelman and Mike G. Morreale are joined by Jason Bukala, Sportsnet draft analyst and founder of The Pro Hockey Group. Who would Bukala, a former amateur scout with the Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers, take with the No. 1 pick? Is he completely set on Gavin McKenna? Or does he favor Ivar Stenberg? And how would he rank the top five defensemen available? Bukala shares some interesting viewpoints on those topics and several others.
