This is reminiscent of Mike Bossy. Who slipped all the way down to 15th in the draft because he too was “one dimensional”. And every team regretted that one too. While no one has a crystal ball, all fingers point to this kid becoming a goal scoring sensation.
The guy is literally the future. Born on August 29th 2026??? LOL not gonna be born for almost 2 years from now!!! Those Islanders are really ballsy in their draft picks!!!😂😂😂
Sliding down in the draft may be disappointing to a player the day of the draft, but it's really a good thing because the further he slides, the better the team he is going to. Take another Islander pick from long ago. Mike Bossy slid to 15th his draft year while being the best goal scorer in juniors. Nobody picked him because he "couldn't play defense". In sliding down he went to a team on the verge of winning 4 straight Stanley Cups. He could have been picked by the Colorado Rockies instead and played his career with a team that struggled to win 20 games a season.
A comparison beyond hockey (and yes, as an older Isles fan, I remember the Bossy pick very well, since it came after the Rangers took BOTH Ron Duguay and Lucien Deblois), would be Aaron Rodgers, and that turned out pretty well too . . .
The amount of logic loops you jump through comparing him to players not in his draft class… 19 teams passed on him, to include the team that drafted Celebrini. Ok
Yea I wanted to keep it from someone who was potentially top 3 or so. But Demidov IMO was more of a sure thing top 5. And I will look into those other names and possibly make a video, thank you for taking the time to watch.
Eiserman is no where near close to ovi 😂 ovi is one of the best at making his own shot… eiserman lacks that. While ovi is known for his one timer, ovi is actually a really undervalued passer. He would rather score than pass, but his passes are still leaps and bounds above eiserman. Edit: eiserman would be on the right circle for one timers, he’s left handed. You play off handed for one tees on the powerplay.
early in his career Ovi was a really good at shooting in general not just his slapshot and his hands were slick as hell. Man was a highlight reel early in his career.
Usually when a player falls that far there's a better reason than "one dimensional" I wouldn't bank on this guy until we see how he handles the pro game
Fantastic AAA one-timer, Great A+ wrist shot, A-level body/frame, mid-level B hockey IQ at current level (could improve), low to mid C+ skating talent, C- low defensive talent. That's why he was not a top 8 draftee. Could he be THE 2024 draft steal? Sure - but to do so he needs major (MAJOR!) improvements to be able to follow NHL-level talent.
I'm a huge Islanders fan. Eiserman probably won't be on the team until 2026-27 at the earliest. He's going to Boston University this year so obviously he has not signed his ELC. It's going to be a while before he plays in the NHL full time.
Pump the breaks with this stuff. We hear this every year about some prospect who is supposedly the next great sniper and everyone is dumb for passing. Then 5 years later the player is still in minors.
I mean im still pessimistic about my isles but this years draft gave us something to work off of for sure. We'll be a lottery pick some time in the next 3 years no doubt but maybe we'll be better in 4-8 years
As an Islander fan, I'm glad we got a sniper. We got enough playmakers in the top 6 & need more shooters not passers. Really hope this praise is justified & the video ages even half as good as you say he is.
Ivan Demidov at #5 is EASILY the biggest steal of the draft. He was supposed to go at #2 but he dropped because of the Russian factor. Demidov is a much better more complete 200 foot player than Cole Eiserman. Demidov can do it all: He has amazing hands, a great shot, has great vision, is a terrific playmaker and he's very solid in his own end as he backchecks ferociously. Eiserman is an elite sniper with a great shot but he has some serious work to do on the other aspects of his game - which explains why he dropped so far.
Strangely contentious player. His numbers are so damn good... I think he was a steal for the Islanders. He seems way too motivated to not succeed at some level in the NHL. Reminds me of when teams were scared of drafting Cole Caufield.
I think his draft interviews didn't help him. Successful teams are made up of team first players. You don't want to see your star chasing a personal record and passing a chance to rest for the playoffs.
Easy, his work ethic. Apparently his work ethic is shit and he was obsessed with getting the goal scoring record that he didn't bother to improve his game.
@@ClappinBiscuits With all of those traded first round picks from the last few years he has no choice. But I'm glad it worked out. Been too long since I've seen the Isles win a cup. I was 10 when I began watching in 1981.
I don't know about Raty as an example, though the Canucks thought enough of him to trade Bo Horvat to the Islanders for him. In that way Raty was a good pick for the Islanders.
@@RRaquello I don't believe Raty is near Eiserman in talent. Just that they both fell from originally being considered a top pick. For different reasons of course.
The Islanders had Anders Lee score 40 goals in 2017-2018, it's been 6 years, not decades
Sounds a lot like Mike Bossy !!!!
Montreal still sick over not taking Bossy!

The Red Wings drafted Danielson in 2023, and entire year before Eiserman was available
You were writing your comment the same time as I was
@@Ole66sameeeee
He still went top 10 though. That a lot better than falling to 20th.
The amount of logic loops you jump through comparing him to players not in his draft class… 19 teams passed on him, to include the team that drafted Celebrini. Ok
Demidov at 5 seems a pretty big steal. Luke Misa at 150th is pretty good, and don't forget Aaron Kiviharju going in the fourth round.
Yea I wanted to keep it from someone who was potentially top 3 or so. But Demidov IMO was more of a sure thing top 5. And I will look into those other names and possibly make a video, thank you for taking the time to watch.

Everyone isn’t losing their minds over the Eiserman pick.
They will be
I can't believe the Red wings passed up on this guy
He was born in the future? That’s some real talent.
Where we're going we dont need ROADS.
Born in 2026!??? This guy hasn’t even been conceived yet
Mistakes happen
I hope this video will age well
Me and You Both hahahaha!
it will...sarcastically...

We shall see, no?
@@ClappinBiscuits absolutely, but making this video at this point is premature.
@@Starroftheshowas a Devils fan, already Alex Holtz flashbacks 😂💀
Mike Bossy at 15 was a pretty big steal
@@joefriday7609 ok?
miracle Islanders got him…just like miracle they made playoffs with worst PK in NHL ..this is an absolute steal
I mean im still pessimistic about my isles but this years draft gave us something to work off of for sure. We'll be a lottery pick some time in the next 3 years no doubt but maybe we'll be better in 4-8 years
Nate Danielson was drafted last season for Detroit and helenious was drafted by Buffalo. I agree he was a steal but please do your homework
but were they both projected top 1-2 picks before the season?
still a top 10 pick though. Cole was 20th lmao. horrible fall.
Konsta Helenius was drafted 14th by the Buffalo Sabres, not 15th by the Nashville Predators.
As an Islander fan, I'm glad we got a sniper. We got enough playmakers in the top 6 & need more shooters not passers.
Really hope this praise is justified & the video ages even half as good as you say he is.
Same lol. Isles fan as well. Compelling player, great for content.
So the San Jose sharks will be regretting taking macklin celebrini makes sense😅
Macklin was 1st overall. He didnt drop from the top to 20th. 1st overall is never a steal.
@@ClappinBiscuits You said all 19 teams that passed will regret that means the sharks

A steal wouldnt come at 5 in most cases. But I understand.
Boy didn't played single game in nhl, yet everyone praising him 😂
Strangely contentious player. His numbers are so damn good... I think he was a steal for the Islanders. He seems way too motivated to not succeed at some level in the NHL. Reminds me of when teams were scared of drafting Cole Caufield.
If the islanders actually develop him and do it properly to adapt to the NHL then he will have a good chance and also fix their roster hopefully soon
@@outcast480 agreed. Isles gotta do it right or its a waste.
Anders Lee scored 40 in 2018.
because he had Taveres on his line
I think his draft interviews didn't help him. Successful teams are made up of team first players. You don't want to see your star chasing a personal record and passing a chance to rest for the playoffs.
Buffalo got konsta Helenius at 14, not nashville. Nate Danielson was picked 9th in 2023, detroit picked nygaard at 15th. Yikes dude do your homework
why would I go back a year to talk about this draft.
I don't know why this guy is doubling down on his mistake. You did go back a year watch ur video bro
1:31 Laced his SCATES??? lol
we know relax, it slipped through.
@@ClappinBiscuits It's still funny to see 'skate' misspelled by a hockey expert.
Easy, his work ethic. Apparently his work ethic is shit and he was obsessed with getting the goal scoring record that he didn't bother to improve his game.
You think this 17 year old has the best shot since Ovi? Have you never heard of Pasternak, Draisaitl, Bedard, or Bouchard?
Anders Lee scored 40 in 17-18
First Raty and now Eiserman. Isles have been fortunate in grabbing good talent that falls to them.
Lou not afraid to grab those types it seems.
@@ClappinBiscuits With all of those traded first round picks from the last few years he has no choice. But I'm glad it worked out. Been too long since I've seen the Isles win a cup. I was 10 when I began watching in 1981.

Caufield is a better player overall than Eiserman, even if he's a bit smaller.
The goalie? or Cole? Cole was drafted 2019 this is about this draft though.
@@ClappinBiscuits I'm talking about similar palyer, Caufield too, broke all the scoring records, Caufield had a similar story to Eiserman.
GMs takin potential 3rd line forwards ahead of a potential 50 goal scorer.
Although eiserman has a great shot I wouldn’t put in the same tier as someone like bedard or matthews
Agreed.
Bedard’s shot is better than eisermans
time will tell my man
Born in August 2026?
Born 2026? So he isn’t born yet? 😝
Idk how I he sharks didn’t draft eiserman
Skates** 😅 1:33
mistakes happen Pally
@@ClappinBiscuitsthey do, yes. Good video
19 people passing on free pizza? It’s really 19 people passing on free pizza for other free food. Typically much more interesting food
