I have no doubt it translates to the NHL. The problem with this player is he does one thing but he does it at an elite level and that's score goals. He never looks to set up teammates and he doesn't give a rats ass about backchecking either. He wants the puck all the time. He reminds me of a healthy Laine except they are very different in that Laine is just a lazy ass player with a great release and Eiserman is a very selfish player with a great release. I think he going to score in bunches in the NHL and will be dominant on a power play but he isn't going to do you any favours five on five and he won't be very popular with his teammates. Earlier in the year I had him top 10 because his goal scoring ability is that freakishly good but the other intangibles has him more likely in the 15-20 range imo now.
