Really like this kid!2 goals so far tonight. He took a rough fall on an awkward hit on a partial 2-on-1 late in the 2nd. Went into the boards hard on his shoulder but has been playing since. Sweden has been taking a lot of runs at him tonight. He definitely stared down the Swedish bench on his way back to his own bench on the PP goal he just scored. The Kyle Connor comparison is good but Eiserman is much more involved physically at the same age - both in terms of playing physically but also not avoiding it.
Stevie Y could try to pull the ol' Sam Pollock.Shame that Detroit will be too good to be in a position to draft this kid.
his performance has definitely gone a little under the radar because of how damn good Hagens has been.2g, 3a so far in the gold medal game. His 19 points would be a tournament record if not for Hagens breaking the record earlier in the game
At this rate the Gophers might need to accelerate him and have him come in as a 17 year old the whole season, which is very rare. Toews, Werenski, Cammalleri, and a few others since 2000.
If he does that at least he could play with Cooley.
He is an extremely late birthday 11th grader.Early birthdays rarely accelerate. It’s only been done like two or three times the last ten years.

Eiserman...Hagens or Eiserman?
I thought the discussion was Eiserman because this was the Eiserman thread, but maybe I missed part of the context of the discussion.
Kids accelerate a lot now, it’s just usually kids who are late birthdays in a year like an October or November kid who’s school cutoff was September 1st so the jump isn’t that crazy. The youngest player I can remember who accelerated was Werenski who was a July birthdayEiserman...
Eiserman is in 11th grade. Most 11th graders are August 2005-July 2006. He is August 2006. He is very young for his grade in school. So if he wanted to go to college next year he will need to finish both 11th and 12th grade this year. Just like so many others that accelerate. Most of them turn 18 during their freshman year of college but he's young so he'd be 17 the whole season.
Eiserman will never play in college. Too young for the jump and he’s looking like the #1 overall pick for 2024.
