LW Cole Eiserman - Boston Univ., NCAA (2024, 20th, NYI)

[Michael Farkas]

Sorry, that wasn't entirely directed at you. It's just a comparison that people keep making. They are just not stylistically similar.

 

[De Montreal]

NTDP had nothing to do with my comp. It was more about the one-dimensionality of their games. Both have an elite shot, not so elite at the other parts of their games.

Caufield is a very good playmaker

Haven’t watched Eiserman but from what I read he’s solely a shooter

Which should work out good for Montreal because he appears to be the best natural goal scorer in this draft and we really need to score more goals. Looks like we have addressed our backend in the last few drafts but our offense is still pretty piddly. If we draft at say 6 and he is there he makes a lot of sense IMO.

 

[SK94]

I would like to see Johnny Hockey with Eiserman.

 

[hockey20000]

never like drafting a guy who was a clear top 2 guy at start of season then been droppig all season.. if we draft 7th if we cant get cayden or the finish forward drawing name blank on him atm lol. then i would skip cole and just take one of the d man especially with chabot struggles and chykrin pros on his way out.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Just for the memes, I need this guy to fall to #15

 

[Frank Drebin]

never pick a faller. Thats a trevor timmins move

Forsberg falled a few more spots than anticipated. Worked out okay.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Or a 5'11" version of Oliver Wahlstrom, or Kieffer Bellows.

He's been quite a bit better than those guys at the same level.

I think Getzlaf was a big time faller.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Timmins took the other fallers. Not the good ones. Except for caufield

 

[De Montreal]

do you think he compares to Dany Heatley style wise?

 

[Brodeur]

Forsberg falled a few more spots than anticipated. Worked out okay.

I think Getzlaf was a big time faller.

Both guys were ranked pretty highly going into the draft then fell on draft day, so that might be a different case. Other poster seemed to be indicating the type of guy who was steadily dropping through the draft year, prospects like Angelo Esposito or John McFarland?

One (non-recent) example of a faller working out was Petr Sykora. He started the 1994-95 season expected to be a possible #1 pick. Ended up ranked #8 by THN by the end of the year then dropped to #18 to New Jersey. Although Sykora bounced around a lot in the second half of his career.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Would definitely be fine with my team taking a boom/bust chance at #13 or #14. Wish he was a righty though.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Just the last few years

A. Lundell
A. Raty

Both discussed and seen as 1st overall for multiple yrs leading up and as late as early on in their draft years. Heck this draft not long ago A. Kiviharju. Nearly every year can find a similar situation

Raty is the one that jumps out to me. I don’t think Eiserman falls that far though. Someone will take a chance in the middle of the first round at worst.

 

[le_sean]

Forsberg falled a few more spots than anticipated. Worked out okay.

Forsberg fell at the draft. He didn’t really fall in draft rankings. It was just a weird circumstance of teams liking one player a little more.

Eiserman is falling in rankings, everyone is seeing the red flags.

How can you be an Ottawa fan and spell the guy's name this wrong lol

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

I think he’s a Devil

 

[SK94]

Hughes with Eiserman. Doesn't sound bad at all.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

I think he’s a Devil

I don't think so. Fitzgerald doesn't want another Holtz to the team.

Anyway, Helenius and Buium are more intriguing prospects than Eiserman.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I don't think I've ever seen someone drop from a potential 1st overall pick this much in the projections. At the same time, I predict that most teams who passes him will make a big mistake. Goal scoring record is in serious trouble in the U18 Worlds.

I have many times. Angelo Esposito, Sean Couturier, Shane Wright, Adam Larsson, Phil Kessel were all in serious consideration for 1st overall one year prior to their draft year.

The scrutiny Eiserman is under reminds me a lot of Kessel.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Wasn't Nick Ebert seen as like a potential top 5 pick coming into the season of his draft?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Wasn't Nick Ebert seen as like a potential top 5 pick coming into the season of his draft?

Soon we will have names like Will O'Neill, Sean Day, Joe Veleno or Jesse Joensuu

 

[SK94]

Will he play at BU next year?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Will he play at BU next year?

Why wouldn’t he?
