Cole Iserman eats Cole Coffield for breakfast

At the TVA Sports offices, excitement is reaching a fever pitch. Heated discussions about the upcoming NHL Draft have occupied every corner of the newsroom.

At the heart of the excitement, one name comes up again and again: Cole Iserman. Journalist Anthony Martino dreams of the idea that he could be available at number six or seven, but reality will suddenly bring him back to earth.

“If this guy is still available at No. 6 or 7, the Canadiens should consider drafting him. The hardest thing in hockey is scoring goals. He's a natural scorer, even if he's not the most fearless and can be a little selfish in his decisions with the puck.” (Credit: TVA Sports)

If Celebrini and Demidov are picked quickly, as I think they are, what other targets do I have in attacking CH in the next auction?

Here are my 3 favorites.

Did you notice the capitalization of the term “attack”?

Our answer is clear and frank: “Top three guaranteed,” we declare with complete confidence. Eiserman is a prospect with tremendous potential who seems destined to shine on the NHL stage in his first season. Some even went so far as to put him in first place ahead of Celebrini at the start of the year.

You don't have to dream in colors. Eisermann, the American hockey prodigy, devours Cole Caufield for breakfast. We must remember his superiority on the ice. His reputation is such that it is impossible to see him slip to sixth or seventh place.

As promised, here are the top 10 midseason players for the 2024 draft.

An auction where high-ceiling defenders abound and where there are also many attackers with interesting profiles.

Based on my personal assessment of the potential impact in the NHL.

However, the idea persists at TVA Sports. The wild hope that something exciting will happen during the draft, giving one lucky team a chance to acquire this gem of the sport. But deep down, this thought is pure madness, a beautiful dream that reality will quickly dispel.

While D-Day will take place at the end of June, TVA Sports continues to follow developments closely, wavering between hope and “madness.” Because if uncertainty remains about Cole Iserman's fate, one thing is certain: His name will long live in the memories of hockey fans, regardless of his rank in selection.

But he will be long gone in sixth or seventh place.
