Cayden Lindstrom, Ivan Demidov, Zeev Buium, Tij Iginla and a few other prospects have been linked to the Habs, but there’s a lot of uncertainty.
Eiserman, who broke the record for goals scored in Caufield’s U.S. development program, is very excited about the possibility of playing with CC22.
Cole Eiserman on the possibility of playing with Cole Caufield and #GoHabsGo:
“That would be pretty unbelievable. He’s someone I really look up to … I think we’d have fun together”

“It would be pretty amazing. He’s someone I admire a lot… I think we’d have a lot of fun together.” – Cole Eiserman
It’s hard not to salivate at the thought of a Cole duo on the wings, one right-handed and one left-handed, with a Nick Suzuki or Kirby Dach in the middle.
Eiserman also pointed out in his interview with Marinaro that Caufield has “created a path” for players like them, who are small.
Picking Eiserman with the 5th overall pick seems like a reach, but with trade rumors surrounding the Habs, we shouldn’t rule out going into the draft with the 26th pick.
With Cole squaring off on offense, there’s also the possibility of the Habs drafting Lane Hutson’s little brother, Cole…

– Good question from Friedman.
Friedman asks Bettman if the Jets history could ever be returned to Winnipeg now that the Coyotes will not be reactivated: “That’s an excellent question and since this is all unfolding rather rapidly it’s something we would have to take a look at”
