I mean...wasnt the Thornton Heatley Marleau line like one of the highest scoring lines in the league the first year we had him? (checked and yeah they were, only Ovi/Backstrom/Semin had three players higher in the points standings than those three)
That was with a like 30yo Heatley, not a prime one. So like he did something, but it didn’t last.
Also in my post I even admit that if Eiserman really cannot bring anything besides his shot, than yeah he would not be a great pick. However the kid is still very young, has a shot unlike many, and if he can indeed improve to even mildly good at other facets of the game could wind up being the stud people originally ranked him to be before his plummet in the rankings.
Also again I will just reiterate, I really won’t be upset if we dont pick him there, and go with someone like Senneke or whomever, I just personally like the idea of having a proper trigger man on the roster, and would be willing to take a gamble on him developing other aspects of his game.
