Scouting Report:

Jamie Drysdale is an excellent skater who can drive the play and push the pace from the back end.
He is a right-hand defenseman, that is capable of running the power play and driving offense with his skating and elite hockey sense.
His offensive upside has been evident for years, but Drysdale’s ability to shut down the opposition’s top forwards this season has been equally impressive.
Much like Drew Doughty, Drysdale seems to relish in the matchups against opposition's top forwards-and Drysdale could also push for the top five.
Drysdale is the best available defender in this draft, hands down and to me it isn't close;
for that reason, he could even get taken ahead of one of the top forward prospects like Byfield or Stutzle.

NHL Potential:

Franchise Defenseman, will be a top pair defenseman for the next decade

This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well.
