Drysdale to Philly

[AngelEyes]

I don't know what the hell Verbeek is thinking here. Drysdale is a potential top-4 d-man. Gauthier is a winger. The idea of the Ducks getting screwed is fine with me, but the hockey fan in me just cringes.

What's wrong the guy they got in return? The only negative is that for some reason didn't want to play in Philly. Plus, Drysdale has had some injury issues. I'm not sure isn't a good thing for Anaheim....unfortunately.

Nice to see Verbeek continuing the Ducks tradition of trading away top tier defensemen. Keep up the good work, Pat!

It may be easier to recover from an injury problem than an attitude problem.
