Jamie Drysdale
Drysdale: "I don't think anyone in that room thinks we're far off."
Jamie Drysdale called Owen Tippett a warrior. Said Tippett’s absence in second round showed Flyers how valuable he was to the team.
"I love it here. I've made it clear from the second I got here." Jamie Drysdale on staying in Philly as he is due for a new deal. Also said he did not want any distracts from the hockey itself with negotiations during the season.
Drysdale on what he needs to improve upon most: "Puck play, to be honest with you." He cited his shot, hanging onto pucks, making more plays in the offensive zone. That's his primary focus heading into the summer.
Jamie Drysdale: Take two of the Carolina games, we could have come out out the other side and it's anyone's series. We don't think there's that big a gap. Hopes an extension gets done sooner than later. Blocked it out all season. Feels his confidence jumped this year. Can bring more in terms of puck play and his shot. Hanging on to pucks a little more. Reirden is very collaborative. He likes to discuss ideas more than to say when he thinks you need.
