Go Habs!
US NTDP season ticket holder here. I was excited to see how Eiserman would progress this season after an interesting and impressive U17 season last year. He came into this year touted as a potential top 2 overall pick,, but he just has not progressed like I thought he would, and the scouts seem to agree, as he has slid down the draft board. Eiserman seemed at times like he wants to do it alone instead of being part of a team -- he would carry the puck through the neutral zone and deep into the offensive zone, ignoring his teammates, too often. In that respect he reminded me of Ho Sang when he played in the OHL. He can score, but I'm not sure how he'll fit in at higher levels of competition.Eiserman showing us who he has been all year, a player carried by Hagens. Great finisher, no doubt, but I want a lot more from a Top 7 pick.
When the Habs selected Caufield in his draft year, I was really excited because I thought he had more tools than just the sniper that many here who had only seen highlight videos claimed. With Eiserman, though, I think (and hope) the Habs do better than him with their pick.
