The Anaheim Ducks used the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 draft to select highly regarded defenseman Jamie Drysdale.
NHL Central Scouting named Drysdale the No. 3 North American skater and top defenseman in its final rankings.
The 18-year-old spent the past two years with Erie of the Ontario Hockey League, finishing the 2019-20 season with 47 points (nine goals, 38 assists) in 49 games. He was also a key part of Team Canada as it won the World Junior Championship in January.
In both competitions, Drysdale showcased his offensive skill set as a scorer and passer:
