Every so often, we see the Jamie Drysdale that many predicted he would become when taken sixth overall back at the 2020 NHL Draft. Since he has been a member of the Philadelphia Flyers after the trade with the Anaheim Ducks over a year ago, the 22-year-old has steadily been able to show more and more of that potential. Becoming more comfortable after a treacherous start to his professional career, marred by injuries and lack of true development time, Drysdale is doing just enough to keep the hope alive for Flyers fans that he can be a dominant presence on the blue line one day.
