Drysdale, a right-handed defenseman, had 47 points in 49 games with the OHL’s Erie Otters. The Ducks have a huge need for defensemen who can play on the right side and Drysdale projects as a potential top-pairing NHL defenseman.
They had the option of either Jamie Drysdale or Marco Rossi, which was certainly unexpected, and Drysdale certainly fills a position of need.
Later in the draft, the Ducks also selected winger Jacob Perreault with the 27th overall pick.
