He was playing a much better defensive game before being hurt. I hope for him and the team he returns, ready to play hockey at an NHL level. Gimmicky NHL skills goals aside he’s a massive defensive liability on the ice who is easily pushed off of the puck.
Drysdale appears to be a glass man.
Hoping I’m wrong about these kids, I’m ready for a brighter future.

When Z, Lundy, Dry come back from IR, unless the ducks have new injuries to put on IR, there is going to be some big changes to the lineup. They’re up against the 23 player limit.
The only Waivers-exempt forwards are McT and Leo (not going to be sent down).
Only waivers-exempt Defense is Minty (not getting sent down) and Lacombe. Edit to add as /u/mkhart notes – Hagg is effectively waivers exempt until he accumulates 30 days on NHL roster (has 8 now).
And we need to find (3) roster spots somehow. Will not be shocked if ducks move up the timeline to trade one of the UFAs (Rico, Lyubu), waive Johnston, and send Lacombe down.
