Flyers general manager Danny Briere shed some light on defenseman Jamie Drysdale surgery. And from the sound of it, he’s optimistic the young blueliner should be ready to go when the season begins in October.
“He got checked after the season and there’s a significant injury there that he needed surgery on,” Briere said Thursday while attending the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo. “He’s had a lot of injuries to deal with the last few years so he wanted to play, so I give him a lot of credit. He showed a lot of character, leadership, the way he handled it.
