Ferrari has been lower on Eiserman than most for a while. Wrote this about him a couple of months ago:
Quote:
Eiserman is the real head-scratcher. What do you do with a player who has the chance to be one of the best goal-scorers we’ve seen in the draft since Auston Matthews? With a game so incomplete, you question whether he will ever be able to take advantage of the truly special ability he has.
Eiserman is a floater for large stretches of time, and he can be a bit of a lackluster distributor. He is the kind of player who puts his head down and looks to shoot at every chance. He needs to diversify his skill set in a major way.

sounds like Patrik Laine to me.
Was also surprised that Team USA didn't even bother to include him in the WJC preliminary 29 player roster while including 2025 prospect James Hagens (they ultimately cut him, but still).
Really curious about Buium. No idea how big his role is going to be at the WJC (I'd expect 2022 picks like Hutson, Casey and Chesley play heavy minutes), but I wouldn't be shocked if he continued to shoot up in rankings.
