Steve Yzerman should avoid drafting this player at all costs
As we inch toward the the 2024 NHL draft in Las Vegas, rumors have circulated about who General Manager Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings should select 15th overall.
In this article, we break down who Yzerman should potentially avoid in the draft. Selecting 15th overall in the NHL draft has proven difficult over the years. With much of the talent already gone, Steve Yzerman must be extremely diligent in whom he decides to bring in. Source have speculated that Cole Eiserman is a young prospect who Yzerman should avoid like the plague.
"The American winger brings little else other than offense. Detroit sacrificed defense for offense last season, and it led to their downfall. They need to balance their lineup with players who are responsible at both ends of the ice. Eiserman certainly could become a two-way player down the line. But Detroit wants to compete sooner rather than later. As a result, it's more beneficial to take a winger who already plays a two-way game. And at the NHL Draft, the Red Wings should have a few two-way wingers to choose from."
Sources have speculated that Eiserman is a one-dimensional forward who brings nothing of value other than offensive fire power. The Red Wings should look to draft a player who provides more of a two-way-game as they already struggle defensively.
