Drysdale was originally drafted in the first round (6th) by Anaheim in 2020.
His career, so far, has had its share of starts and stops due to injuries.
When at his best he projects as a potential second pairing 'D' at even strength, but one who needs to be paired with more of a 'stay at home' partner.
Drysdale is a 'Transitional Defenceman' who quarterbacks the power-play. He leans distributor more than shooter.
Good feet. Walks the blue line to create space and open up lanes to make plays. Joins the rush as an extra layer via zone exits. Average defender who isn't punishing physically. Relies on active stick and jumping to space ahead of opponents.
