You will have spent a top-10 pick on a 30-goal scorer who has trouble doing anything else. That’s my big issue.
The other thing is that I wonder about his attitude, and how much of a team player he truly is. At the U-18’s, a reporter asked about a certain play, and he uttered something to the effect of, “I just did what Cole Eiserman does, and scored a goal.” Trevor Zegras is in a ton of trade rumours because of these concerns allegedly, and I see Eiserman the same way. He loves scoring goals, but he was so much more excited when he scored the goal that broke Caufield’s record, and celebrated a little too exuberantly. I think Eiserman likes scoring goals for Eiserman, and not the team. Just my take.

He seems to celebrate a lot of goals like as if he just won the Stanley Cup in game 7 overtime. I'm not saying celebrating is bad, or showing personality is bad, but it does make me question his attitude a bit.
