RD Jamie Drysdale (2020, 6th, ANA)

[Mercedes Benn]

Where would you guys rank him among 2020 draft class dmen?

 

[93LEAFS]

I can’t believe how good the 2020 draft class looks so far. It looks STACKED.

So is 2019

Look, I hope Drysdale kills it. I remember talking about him last year as a guy who might be able to challenge Byfield (whose tools are unreal), but its way too early to call this class deep. The only kid who looks like a sure thing is Lafreniere, as much as I think Raymond has unreal tools.

Let's just wait it out a bit before we start throwing around the term stacked. I hope they prove me wrong, but it seems every draft class gets the stacked statement around it when half the class is only 3 months into its first year in major junior.

Indeed.

This is why we have opinions. I believe the 2020 draft will be the best class since 2015.

- 4th place in Otters scoring

Marcel Barinka in Halifax is a forward but you might want to slot in 2020 dman Justin Barron 2 goals 19 assists who is wicked good and should get a look for the U-20 team next year

Barron is not a rookie thou... his rookie season was his last season.

Who looks better as of today? Drysdale or Barron?

Drysdale for me, but i bet plenty of going for Barron as well

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Drysdale plays more minutes, but Barron plays with better players?

The Dry Guy. He’ll be an NHL PP QB. The Dry Guy will be the first D taken in his draft class.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

After going 11 games with only 1 assist, Jamie has scored 3+3 in his last 8 games.
2018-2019 so far, 6+25=31 -18

Erie Otters have faced tough opponents lately, London twice, Niagara, Oshawa,Windsor,Hamilton
though they have played twice against Kitchener, but mostly his 6 points (3 against London)
have come against tough teams, that's a good sign.

When looking at his game by game, actually most of his points have come against tougher opponents,
vs Niagara: 1+4, vs London: 2+2, vs Saginaw: 0+3 vs Sarnia: 1+2, vs Ottawa: 0+2, vs Windsor: 0+2,
total 5+15=20 vs tougher opponents.

Sure...he is 1+6 vs Flint....but who hasn't scored tons of points against the worst team in the league this season?.

Gotta remember though, Erie Otters this season: 23-30-2-1, 3rd worst record in the OHL.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

1 goal, 5 assists in his last 3 games. = 7+30=37

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Jamie finished his season with 8 goals, 33 assists, 41 points in 63 games, 0.65 ppg.
Otters didn't qualify to the play-offs.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I am surprised this thread has not been bumped. Looks very good at the Hlinka Gretzky. Should be a top 10 candidate for sure.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’ll go in the top 10. I see no weaknesses in his game, but will NHL teams pick a 5’11 defensemen in the top five? I think he should be a 1OA candidate.
