Flyers Young Defender Should Smash Career Highs

The Philadelphia Flyers made a massive move last season, trading former top prospect Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round pick. Gauthier was unwilling to sign with the Flyers, so GM Daniel Briere used him to land a promising young defender and a solid draft pick.

Drysdale’s start with the Flyers was tough, as he posted two goals, three assists, and a minus-18 rating in 24 games. He also missed 16 games after an upper-body injury suffered on Feb. 25 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Overall, it was a hard way for Drysdale to start his tenure in Philly, but the new season presents a fresh start for the 2020 sixth-overall pick.
