I'm fine with limiting Drysdale's interactions with Klingberg.

I'm sure he's watching this season and seeing a lot of that. At this point some of our players probably somewhat forget what good hockey looks like.To be fair, seeing what not to do is an important part of the learning process.
Will be super interesting how his season goes. Missed a year but should still have loads of potential. New coaching staff and what should be an improved team (but still a pretty bad blueline).No posts since February! Felt it was about time to bump to let everyone know he still hasn't signed.
Agreed. This should have been an easy bridge deal. Strange that this is getting dragged out into Training Camp week.How is this not done? He hasn’t played in a year and despite some good moments wasn’t all that impressive before that, not sure what leverage he has unless Pat is offering league min or wants to go long term
Drysdale was hemmed in all of 21-22 and that was with a substantially better team than last year. I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like last year. I’m not worried about his development at all, honestly could turn out for the better.
I keep hearing on TSN radio that Pinto is worth somewhere between $2.0-$2.5 AAV and he scored 20 goals last year, his second in the league. Given Dry’s lost year and serious injury I really can’t imagine what he thinks he’s currently worth. At this point in time where he was drafted holds little sway with me compared to how his pro career is currently going. Yes, it does take two to tango but if he isn’t in camp soon, there’s only gonna be one loser in this battle.
Drysdale has zero excuse not to be signed by the end of this week now. He is probably just fantasizing that Ottawa had drafted him and given him Sanderson's contract...
Now we know why... Sanderson has the size to be an effective true shut down defensemen. Jamie hasn't ever showed to be an offensive dynamo, and he doesn't look like a shutdown guy either... so he might only top out as a #3 dman.... I was still holding out hope for a Duncan Keith outcome... He's still young and can improve.I like Dry, but there's no question to me the Ducks were salivating over getting Sanderson.
Drysdale can be rightfully a little upset about this but I guarantee that every single team in the league would have done the same thing
