Given what the price was to bring Drysdale in, he will forever be linked to Gauthier and whatever his production turns out to be. Yes, it’s an obvious comment, I know. I hope he turns into an exceptional defenseman, but more importantly he stays healthy.

He shouldn't be linked to Gauthier, because the trade was Drysdale AND A DRAFT PICK IN 2025 in exchange for Gauthiers, but people are stupid and will compare them Man for Man their entire career.

@@stackaleak I’ve been following hockey for a really long time. I’m not stupid. It happens with trades all the time. At least I’m not one of those who complains about Patrick vs Heiskenen in the draft. Drysdale was the main piece so it will happen.

Come on JJ. Playoffs? I know he wants to be positive because he has to broadcast almost every game but he needs to ease back on the throttle. In addition to a few teams in the conference like Jersey most likely being better the goaltending on this team is suspect at best especially over 82 games given what we saw the last half of the season. Sam is probably at best an average NHL goalie and Fedotov is a complete unknown.

Playoffs? We are talking playoffs for this season? That would be the worst thing for this franchise! It would be purgatory and keep this team in mediocrity for years to come. Picking 16th, 23rd and 27th in a top heavy draft is NOT going to move the needle in this rebuild! Briere has to move out some veteran players by the deadline and get this team picking in the top 5, otherwise, they have no chance to build a true contender here. We have clearly seen that teams in the top 10 are not trading out of the top 10, especially in a deep draft like this one. Briere is naive if he thinks he can rebuild this team with good, but not great players. The further away you pick from the top 5, the more the chances drop that they will draft an elite talent.
