Ben Shelley: Ducks sign Jamie Drysdale to entry-level contract

I’d love for him to be a Duck this yr... but a 9 game audition... and if he completely blows doors... well l then a tough decision to be made. But back to JR would be ok also.

No doubt he’s in the lineup a yr from now.

I agree. If he's absolutely unbelievable then he stays. If not, there's no reason to keep him in Anaheim for an abbreviated season.

Does he have a shot? Yes, especially because the pandemic has impacted all levels of hockey so much. If this was a normal season, I'd have said no.
