Drysdale has missed a ton of games in his short career.

First of all, he's 21 and had injury problems, very very far from being a bust.

Second, the Flyers had no choice but to trade Gauthier because he was never going to sign with them.

Considering points A and B, this is a decent deal for Philly.

I think the irony that Philadelphia got Lindros-ed by Gauthier all these years later is interesting.

If you think a 21 year old is a bust you need to reevaluate how you think about player development
