Great young dman. Best dman in the draft by a wide margin. Should have gone second overall.
 
These comparisons to other players (''they are better than X'') is what makes these threads derail. I'm actually seeing that the ones saying that Drysdale is definitely better than Sanderson, are almost all not Ducks fans.


On the topic: the previous Niedermayer comparison is interesting. Drysdale has really good IQ and he skates well, but the offense might be lacking and Drysdale is 2 inches shorter, albeit built like a square basically :laugh: Will be interesting to monitor for sure.
Nieds took 1 year in junior after the draft, then 4 seasons of around/below 0.5PPG before scoring 57 points in a season and seemed to be above 0.5PPG from then.

On Ducks boards there is a ''RHD Fowler'' comparison which seems about right, albeit I think Drysdale might have a bit more bite in his game.

I think at this point hes a lock to be on the WJC all star team. Maybe named best dman.

Ifbhe has another strong game he will def be on the AS lineup. But they wont name him player of the game again, they usually spread it around.

You claimed that Drysdale should go second overall, but I didn't agree and said it should be Stutzle...are you new to message forums or something?

Easily the best skating dman in the draft, great passing game, nearly a point per game as a dman at age 17 on the OHL, while olaying a solid 2 way game, makes team canada prior to draft last year and plays well, and takes a step forward and has been the best player on the ice in 2 games now for team canada (the first being exhibition against russia).

Its funny how he went from being unanimously the best dman in the draft before the draft to some fans arguing that now.

Regarding the comparison between Neidermayer and Drysdale...Neidermayer played at about 6' 200lbs. Drysdale will likely play at close to 6' 190lbs. Neidermayer had better offensive numbers in his draft year but he also had 4 teammates who had 100+ points (including a defenseman in Daryl Sydor). Drysdale's team was not blessed with virtually any offensive talent. I think Drysdale will be a more dynamic player at the NHL level than Fowler due to his skating. He'll probably get many more assists than goals but the offense will be there. Pointwise, I see Drysdale and Fowler as comparable.

Excellent pregame special on TSN about drysdale. Talk of him gunning for a wjc mvp. That would make him onky the second dman in world junior history and the first as an 18 year old if successful.

4 teams (well 3 but one twice) really slept on this guy, its clear as day.
 
I'm being thick here with this thread, I thought I was commenting on a statement that Sanderson was better than Drysdale hence my statement that people were saying three games ago he was a bum (Sanderson)
