He should stay in school for another year at the minimum in my opinion.
If I were a solid prospect, I would have signed a contract right away. Take the $300K+ per year, and if it doesn't work out, go to college in style.
How do you win only 4 home games ? Even the worst NHL team can’t do that. If I was CE I would stay in college until this franchise makes some changes in the right direction(AHL-NHL)
Good 🌄 Gil. How are you? I think they shouldn't rush Cole Eisernman. Ket him stay at BU until he's ready to play in The NHL, or he declares a major, WHICHEVER COMES 1ST.. The higher-ups ups need to make some changes. I hope they keep Patrick Roy give him a team that he can work with. I also they should bring up some of these kids from Bridgeport let them get their feet wet. The Islanders play the Capitals at UBS Arena tonight. After the beat down they got from Columbus Saturday on National 📺, the Caps may be in a bad mood, so the Islanders need to be prepared. HAPPY 🎂, KEITH ACTON. He scored a goal in a 5-1 win against Montreal. Hear from you later, Gil. I must tell you, I was ⌚️ Game 6 of the 80 Finals, and it occurred to me. If John Sterling was still broadcasting for the Islanders in 1980 when Nystrom scored the OT goal, he would be shouting ISLANDER GOAL ISLANDER GOAL over and over until he lost his voice. Now, LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
My vote is stay at BU and continue to develop. LGI
We need an overhaul of all coaches in the NHL and AHL! And of course new GM! Any chance Jay Pandolfo might consider coaching our AHL team?
Cole is the real Deal! He is a goal scorer! Cole already appears to have the size and over 200 lbs! Perhaps focusing on every position instead of focusing on building from the goal out might be a better idea instead of the status Quo’s! Cole is not a Walstrom or Bellows. He wants to be the best he can be! We need David Carle! Pay him! We need Jay P! Pay him! Major changes needed! Let’s see how Calum and Cole look at camp!
Cole might be only 18 but he looks older than Dobson!!!!!
If Lou stays as GM and Eiserman stays in school there is a good shot he gets traded so Lou can pick up another old guy for next years push for a playoff spot. He is the reason the cupboards are bare in Bridgeport. Same thing he did in NJ.
Stay at BU with good coach and program. Bridgeport is a step back in the learning process
Also heard he isn’t very fast. He needs to work on his speed and see if he can gain some before they think about bringing him up.
Good morning team! Gil, in my opinion, Cole shouldn't go to Bridgeport unless he can get the proper coaching he needs for the next level. The census seems to think he is already for the NHL, but I say don't rush it. We don't want to ruin this kid, since he does have the makings of being a star in this league. First thing we need to do is break down the rest of the team and build it up again. This process may have to start with getting new owners that care about hockey. I'm looking forward to the game tonight. I enjoy playing the Caps almost as much as play the Rangers. My daughter has had plenty of fuel for trash talk this season, I wouldn't mind getting her again one more time this season lol. Everyone, have a great day! Enjoy the game tonight. See you all again tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
NYI have 2 of the 15 best Prospects in Cole & Cal. Plus they'll be adding a Top 10 pick if they do the smart thing & start Hogberg & bench Horvat, Lee & Palmieri
Gm Gil. Given the state of the Isles Cole should stay put and complete his education. Until the team management changes over the Isles are a great place to see your career vanish.
I don't care. One more year of college,then straight to Islanders. They need to rush him. Look at Cole Caufield of Canadians. Hockey is a game. Don't have to be Einstein 😅to play.
I think the suspension Cotter received for his hit on Pelech was not enough. I believe that the league should have been extended the suspension into the playoffs, by at least 1 game, if not 2. That would have been more appropriate. Cotter lowered his shoulder. He could have given Pelech a body check and that would have removed Pelech from the puck and not have resulted in an injury. I agree that it is difficult to determine internet to injure, however, Cotter should have know that by lowering his shoulder he increased the chance of injuring Pelech.
Keep him at BU unless he comes to the big team. There is no point in rushing him to that dumpster fire that is BPT and destroying him like we destroy all other top prospects.
Gil, there's one important possibility that is being overlooked with Eiserman. Suppose he gets hurt at BU??
This team is the biggest joke they better trade pullock or pelech Mayfield needs to go all the o players I'm tired barzal making good money to not score I would trade barzal
Morning Gil, hypothetically of course if I was Cole Eiserman, I stay in BU and watch how Bridgeport develop during my sophomore year. But I’m just an old man giving advice to an 18-19 young man 😂. What I would ask this young man is this, who wants to go from one win away from a title to the historically bad “pro” team? Play one more year at least but just check out what bport is doing to improve. IMO
Cole might still be growing ! He is only 18.
