What a gut punch. What the actual F***.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m so disappointed I’m at this game because this is going to be an all timer night on here.

I honestly thought it was a fake account at first. I had to double check to make sure it really was Frank.

 

[GKJ]

As a Rangers fan I am sorry but why would the Flyers draft someone that had no intention of signing with that team?

They have not outran their sins of the past.

Couldn’t even get me Zellweger?!?

That would have been a get.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'm not criticizing him individually but with the way "the system" works I really hate these NCAA picks being able to dictate where they go - same with Fox and NYR.

I’ve never had a problem with it, and still don’t. If the Coyotes of all teams could get Cooley signed, the system can’t be that bad.

As a Ducks fan I would’ve happily given you Zellweger instead (partly because Drysdale is right handed).

I understand Drysdale’s numbers don’t look good at the moment, but this season he has looked far better than he ever has. You guys will like him a lot, and he’s a very lovable guy.

I had to double check the actual account on both Twitter and Facebook

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Wow did not see this coming. I was pretty high on Drysdale 1-2 years ago but have not followed him in Anaheim.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Drysdale went thru injury but a heck if a prospect. ANA fans sad and shocked to see him go, but have 2 other really good d prospects

Here's hopin Drysdale hits his potential and this trade won't be so bad

Miss out on an ELC contract also. What are they thinking?

 

[Danko]

I gotta leave for a beer league game soon, would prefer all of the smoke come out now if we can...if everyone can really get all hyped up and in hysterics within the next hour and a half, that would be preferable for me.

I read like a month into the Ducks account thinking "damn these guys are really devoted to faking this"

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

What do the Flyer fans who were down on Cutter say? Many said they thought he was overrated and his shot selection in college would never work in the NHL.
I really don’t know how to feel about it.

Their GM was trained by Chuck Flumchen

[mr4tno]

T minus how long before Drysdale is scratched so Staal and Seeler and Risto can play?

Basically they traded Gauthier and Zamula for Drysdale. Who do you think is going to sit? Not any of the beloved vet-trans

 

[Adam Warlock]

I mean...they need a high end D prospect in the system. If Drysdale is it...then in the long run this might be worth it.

I know nothing about him though.

 

[BillDineen]

Buying ahead of the deadline

 

[RangersFan1994]

As a person with a brain, why would you think the Flyers knew in 2022 he wouldn’t play here?

They do interview these top prospects before the draft.

[trostol]

its gotta be that he didnt want to play for Torts

 

[FlyerNutter]

there will be zero internal analysis.

Just f*** that kid for not wanting to be a big bad Flyer.

This is hilarious.

HE'S ALREADY ON HIS SECOND DEAL?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[DancingPanther]

This is a good point. They had 2.5 years to make this trade. You lose leverage the more this goes but I’m sure more teams are in on him at the draft.

"We extracted max value from this trade, taking advantage of Cutter's excellent WJC"
