While there’s a lot to like about Eiserman’s game from Eklund’s perspective, the Swedish forward highlighted one quality in particular.
“He’s an elite shooter,” Eklund said. “He works so hard out there on the ice, it’s an easy guy to play with.”
This is the first that Hamilton Hammers’ Head Coach, Jay McKee, a former NHL veteran, is seeing the duo, but he immediately noticed the chemistry that the two developed when playing in Bridgeport last season.
“Both had success when they were in Bridgeport, obviously, gave a big boost to that team, and for guys like them, it’s on their plate to you know where they want to start and where they’re going to be,” McKee said.
Not only has McKee liked what the two can do together, but he has been impressed with their individual games. McKee has especially enjoyed the maturity that the 20-year-old Eiserman is already showing early in camp.
“In one of my first conversations, he acknowledged the things that he needs to improve on, and that’s a step of maturity right there,” McKee said on Eiserman. “A lot of young guys won’t address those issues; they’ll just talk about the things that they’re good at and want to work on those things, but he’s addressed that, and that’s a great start. That’s for me things that are easily fixable, but he’s a highly skilled forward, good pace to his game, has a fantastic shot. A guy if he’s in Hamilton, I’m excited to work with.”
