Until we trade for him at the end of his career.

 

[Starat327]

Imagine wasting an elc year on a 5th overall pick. This guy think he's a first overall or something? Lol

 

[bracer028]

i can't believe cutter signed with the ducks...FOOK.

And now the ducks have zellweger who is a better prospect than drysdale. THen they have a shot at celebrini...cmon man.

Drysdale will be fine once he works out with Sanheim and puts on 50 lbs of muscle over the offseason.

The Flyers have a plethora of the finest career ECHLers who can help him with his development as well.

I'm going to rejoice as quitter turns out to be much more jvr than stamkos despite all the hype he's getting

Haven't ignored anything on this site ever. Not starting now. I hope this man gets a paper cut every time he touches a sheet

Drysdales ability is his skating. 50 pounds will kill that

He was being sarcastic haha.

I am surprised by Drysdale’s lack of creativity. Was that something to be expected? It’s just odd that his skill type and he is not skating all over the place and driving to the net

 

[usahockey22flyers]

imagine if they had held onto him a bit longer...like til this offseason

He’d be a Flyer right now

Have you seen what Torts does?

 

[TheKingPin]

That’s kind of what I am asking. Was Drysdale more creative with the Ducks and before? I thought he’d be a Mike Green type. Jump in as a 4th forward and be able to skate back if needed.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

I was really hoping there’d already be a modicum of offence, even if raw, with Drysdale so far. Really, beyond skating and some one off plays, hasn’t really looked like that is a natural extension of his play. He seems to lack the ability to get pucks through on net, like a guy like Zamula possesses

Let's face it...we most likely got robbed!

Wonder what other deals, if any, were on the table. Flyers seemed to be focused on getting a RHD come hell or high water. Did that cloud their judgement?

Seravalli apparently said Byram was there, but they wanted more. Betting it's because the Avs needed a center this year, not next year.

I really like Byram and probably would have taken him over Drysdale, but also, Byram is one concussion away from not playing anymore. Admittedly, Drysdale, while not a concussion away, has missed more games than he's played in the NHL. That's a pretty shit start to your career and he best be lucky to ever be really healthy and stay healthy.

yeah and he is a RHD. so to me that was the focus.

I thought the level of hype he was getting before the trade was appropriate. There should be serious concerns about his game. That his hype went through the roof to shit on Philly is going to cause a lot of disappointment.

Which is rich because overall, almost everything is a need.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Yeah but not everyone was drafted by Bob Murray.

bottom line to me is they should have waited it out longer until he season was over. Then see if any change of mind or what not.

They wanted a player already in the NHL to help "solidify" that playoff push. IMO they didn't want prospects/picks.

They should have signed cutter to begin with. All the other mistakes have cumulated over time. Also typically team that gets best player in a trade wins. And with flyers I don't even know what was the last slam dunk of a trade tbh.
