5th Overall Jake Sanderson?

I agree with you that Sanderson is being heavily overlooked by a ton of people. Although I'm curious as to why you think Drysdale is better than Sanderson? Sanderson is bigger and much better defensively. Like you've mentioned, Drysdale doesn't have a very high offensive ceiling and doesn't project to be a point producer. To me, he seems like a a guy who's solid in his own end and can still chip in offensively. Sanderson has been said to be the better skater and his offensive game improved a ton over the season. You also mentioned Sanderson being elite in transitional offence, that's true but he shines even more in defensive transitions. Overall, it seems like Sanderson is far better defensively and still has offensive upside similar to Drysdale, so I don't know what would make him better.
