Although there are concerns regarding the 17-year-old’s ability to finish his game, the powerful shot that he possesses is what sets him apart as a top-tier prospect in the National Hockey League. Over the course of the following season at Boston University, he would continue to improve in that particular area.Some of Eiserman’s closest friends and family members believe that his work ethic will assist him in enhancing his skill to the point where it will allow him to achieve success in the National Hockey League.

He was a strong player at the prep school level, with 127 points (61 goals, 66 assists) in 56 games. He was a member of the coaching staff. On the other hand, evaluating the 18-year-old was challenging because there were worries over the quality of play that he interacted with. The scouts, on the other hand, were blown away by his raw abilities, and they will be put to the test when he enrolls at Boston College in the fall.

27. Chicago Blackhawks: Marek Vanacker

Vanacker (6-0, 178) was the player that led Brantford with 82 points (36 goals, 46 assists) in 68 games.
