I'm actually surprised at the amount of people who are on the Drysdale train. Yeah, I get it, you can never have too many good D, and our blueline would be set for 15 years if we picked him...
I'd just like to remind people that we averaged exactly 2.00 goals/game this season. This was last by a whopping 0.53 goal/GP, and was the 3rd worst scoring team in the last 20 years. While everyone is allowed an opinion, I just can't wrap my head around picking a defenceman with our first pick for the 2nd year in a row when we scored at a historically bad rate last year. Sure a healthy Mantha should help those numbers a bit, and with Zadina on the team all year it should help a bit as well, but....2 goals per game is astonishingly bad, and we should draft a defenceman??
