[Hatter of the Beach]

In a vacuum, who do you think is the better prospect?

Drysdale reminds me of Tyson Barrie, Seider reminds me of Kronwall. I’d take take Kronwall over Barrie 10/10.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Drysdale not close. Not saying Seider is bad. Drysdale is that much better.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Drysdale reminds me of Tyson Barrie, Seider reminds me of Kronwall. I’d take take Kronwall over Barrie 10/10.

He defends better at age 18 than Barrie does at 29. He’s like a hybrid of Girard and Makar.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I’d take Sanderson over either but Drysdale in this poll

 

[lawrence]

I like Drysdale more. I pick him. I like his iq and offensive upside. hard choice though.

 

[Buck Naked]

Seider's been the best D in the SHL this year. I still take him. Drysdale might catch up though.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Drysdale looks damn good. I can't not go with Seider though. That size will always be a major asset and he has a physical game that you can't teach.

Sanderson is good but should and likely would be distant 3rd in a 3-way poll.

 

[NyQuil]

Drysdale easily.

I trust Ottawa’s scouting and development system over Detroit’s and Anaheim’s. We turned Karlsson and Chabot, two mid-first round picks, into #1 defensemen. And I’m as high on Sanderson as I was on EK65.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Drysdale.

More offensively gifted.

 

[TheMule93]

is there anything that Drysdale does better than Seider other than having a better slap shot?

What does Drysdale do worse?

What does Drysdale do worse?

I think what he means is, Seider can do what Drysdale can do but have size on top of that.

 

[Llamamoto]

What does Drysdale do worse?

Seider's the more physical player.

Drysdale's better offensively and a more dynamic player, although I think Seider's straight line speed might be better.

Overall its extremely close, although I'd lean towards Drysdale.

Please don't make this thread into a Sanderson vs Drysdale thread.

As for the poll, we're all just guessing. I think Seider ends up a better player long-term. Nothing to base that on other than a hunch.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think Seider is more physical, which gives him an advantage in certain parts of the game defensively. However, I don’t think Seider is better in any major part of the game. This is a similar discussion to the Drysdale/Seider one with the difference being Seider’s a lot more proven than Sanderson.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Seider is slightly less offensively capable, but handedly more physical.

 

[ESH]

Drysdale reminds me of Tyson Barrie, Seider reminds me of Kronwall. I’d take take Kronwall over Barrie 10/10.

Neither of these comparisons make all that much sense

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I like Drysdale better personally. Just slightly better all round imo.

Defend.

Seider is the best prospect outside of the NHL right now. Best defender in the SHL when he just showed up randomly without training camp to a new team as a 19 year old.

I would take Drysdale over Sanderson and think hes really good but Drysdale hasnt hit a level Seider played at in the SHL this year, despite it being the toughest league by far that either have spent much time in. Drysdale in 2 WJCs has never hit a level that Seider played at in that tournament in his draft+1 year either. Almost half a foot of height, a wingspan over 6'6" and 20+ lbs of weight isnt anything to shake a stick at either. At the NHL level thats a massive advantage, especially when it doesnt come at the cost of a huge difference in skating.

And the offense Seider showed this year should start to put the offensive difference to bed a bit as well. Seider can hang offensively, even if Drysdale is better.

I think you are significantly underrating Drysdale’s defense and his performance at the WJC this season, but we can agree to disagree.

I think Seider is more physical

You think? Lol.

Certain parts of the game defensively?

Are you suggesting that Drysdale is on par if not better than Seider overall defensively? If so, that’s an argument I’ve certainly never heard before.

Drysdale barely had to defend on that team. Bad way to judge defence.
