NYI has to take Eiserman right? Scoring is their biggest weakness. And has been for awhile.

Woo! I'm gonna go get Ice cream

 

[SirPaste]

Honestly surprised they did after taking Wahlstrom and Bellows who were very similar and busted. Third times the charm eh?

What team would make sense? Nashville maybe? I could see them liking Buchy

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Isles draft Wahlstrom again? Or next Bossy? Love that Lou got no f's left to give.

After Strick's BS earlier I refuse to get excited

They have to pray something works at some point. They need scoring and Eiserman "should" help with that.

All offense no defense.

Rangers, Carolina, Toronto and Dallas. All teams that are close and could use that extra push.

Does Boston want Krug back?

 

[Stealth JD]

Trade up for Surin, please

Great shot, but doesn't really do anything else particularly well. PLayers like that seem to bust a lot, reminds me of MIke Hoffman

This city would hate him, he scores too much

Play away from puck is abysmal. You would be begging for Kyrou for his 2way play.

He's one-dimensional. That one dimension might not translate at the NHL level

 

[tfriede2]

One trick pony (though very important trick - scoring) that may not translate to NHL. But if it does, he’s a 40 goal guy

[Kylester]

Hage to Montreal

 

[tfriede2]

Could Blues try to trade up for Solberg?

 

[Blanick]

Montreal got a good one in Hage.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Could potentially trade Buch to a non playoff team with retention or not and then that non playoff team retains as well, flips Buch for 1st near theirs plus sweetener.

What’s the knock on Eiserman out of curiosity? I

Average skating
No physical game
Poor defensive game
Below average playmaking ability

He has a +++ shot but that is literally about it.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

f*** Vegas. Every bad thing you all have ever said about them, and I pushed back, I am sorry. They are a trash organization.

He was bound to end up somewhere, but surprised a team used a 1st round pick in him.

I really dislike Vegas, but I think the judgement being heaped on this kid is excessive. If we had perfect knowledge about all the guys drafted tonight, I bet Connelly would have some competition for ugliest incident. Hopefully they all mature and represent their teams well. I think Vegas made a mistake taking him there, but this doesn’t move the needle for me on how I view their franchise.

Big ego and pure pure pure shooter. Like looks off better plays to shoot from bad spots pure shooter. Can score from those sometimes though.

Literally laughed out loud.

It's not one incident. He's been kicked off of multiple teams. Multiple kids have quit teams he has been on because they were afraid to travel with him. He is a huge bully in addition to being a nazi. Read the Strang and Pronman athletic piece on him.
