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
Style Comparison: Drew Doughty
