Isn’t he a Massachusetts kid?Well since we talked about Chyz, the poor dude suffered from bad development. Eiserman is a LI Kid. would be a dream come true if he came here.

Alright checked some video and scouting reports. His skating is...not great. Small and a eh skater isn't a great combo imo. IDC if the kid can pick corners all day if he can't get to the spots needed to do that at the professional level. Good straightline speed, but his edge work is pretty meh. That said, skating is fixable to an extent. But yeah, coming around on picking him in that area, if he was available, but feels like someone will grab him earlier than 61.Don't just look at that size, in this case.
See if you can find a good set of highlights.
Shoots from everywhere. Hits the target from everywhere.
Defenders bounce off of him. That can't pin him down. His body control and timing are outstanding.
Very confident. Loves to score. LOVES to snipe. And can do it.
Like a Caufield, it's not gonna be his height that stops him from making himself a sound NHL option.
But a risk that some teams will surely shy away from, especially if they already have a number of smaller players in their line-ups.
All of those were consensus picks, it happens and all of them had skating issues. Eiserman's knock is he is too offensively inclined, he would be the second most naturally skilled player in the organization next to Barzal.It could also feel like another Chyzowski, Dal Colle, Bellows, Wahlstrom, and every other reputed goal scoring stud that the Isles have drafted aside from Bossy if Eiserman fell to #20. I haven't followed the kid enough to have a strong opinion about his potential, but I definitely feel a little gun shy at that type of player.
Most of the QMJHL scorers dont skate well. This also is true about Dufour.Alright checked some video and scouting reports. His skating is...not great. Small and a eh skater isn't a great combo imo.

Feels like a good player we should take. Good size, speed and hands.Greentree feels like a Lou player

Guys drop for various reasons and it's why the draft is a crapshoot - you're trying to select a kid for a 15-20 year career and you're working off a snapshot in time. If the draft was a year or two ago Eiserman and Kiviharju would both be challenging for #1 overall, and now they'll probably be taken in the latter half of the 1st round going into the 2nd round.I have noticed the skating and that is a big plus for him. Still, we've been burned a lot searching for Bossy 2.0 over the years.
We've been lucky with Barzal and Dobson falling so maybe Eiserman is another one in this scenario, but this guy was a potential #1 overall challenger not too long ago and now we're talking about him at #20. The kid produces big numbers and he's been healthy so why the seemingly plummeting draft stock?
Just playing contrarian here.

Sharks taking a defenseman is more likely. They dont have a marquee name besides MukhamadulinI have a hard time seeing Eiserman get past SJS at 14.
With Celebrini in the bag and gobs of prospects of a playmaking nature, they can really gamble on him being more than just a one-trick pony - or at least very much live with his one trick (to date) being that of pure goal-scoring.
As was mentioned above, his skating and size are not issues.
People just felt he wasn't doing anything else but scoring this season because he was so damned focussed on setting that USNTDP record for goals scored.
Nothing else really seemed to matter to him.
But it could come to matter to him. All the ability is certainly there once it does.

This draft seems skewed towards D as the strength. Makes me think, all things being equal, that you take a D.
I almost mentioned that I recall a year where there were a lot of D strength, and in retrospect it seems like going for D would have been the smart move. Was it 2018? I didn't check - just going by recollection.2018 was like that too, crazy defense class with all different types.
I'd be thrilled to come out of the 1st round with Hage or Connelly.View attachment 884442
Here's a mock with us taking Hage at 20
Although re Barzy, BOS really F'ed up!!!I have noticed the skating and that is a big plus for him. Still, we've been burned a lot searching for Bossy 2.0 over the years.

What if we reach for Andrew Basha at #20? That could be a possibility.
wait would he even be available at #54?Nope!
At 54?
That'd be fine.
But isn't one of the theories about the Isles trading back to 20 that they like a guy that no one will take in the late teens?Nope!
At 54?
That'd be fine.
Last mock i'll post. here's a two round one from mckeen
