If we manage to get one of Byfield or Laf, i think I'd take Drysdale regardless of where the pick isz excluding getting both Laf and Byfield.
I think a dominant D is a better chance at success than a top flight offence. Adding Drysdale to what we have could lead to a crazy D by 2022.
We could have
Chabot
Brannstrom
JBD
Thomson
Drysdale
In no particular order and that kind of D would bring massive help to any O by moving the puck out of the zone and up the ice.
Lots of guys around here are better at remembering lineups than me but i can't think of any lineup that had 5 1st round D in it.
The more i think about it, the more i am talking myself in to Drysdale
I would still prefer Lafreniere and Byfield/Stutzel Over Drysdale because of the lack of top line talent at this time; however if we cannot get two of Lafreniere/Byfield/Stutzel, then Drysdale is a worthy replacement for one of them.
