He brought it up himself in a post draft interview with Tim that he’d be coming to visit the city and come to camp Where did you see the interview? Doesn’t seem to be one on their Twitter account unless I missed it. |

I know the chances of him reporting are slim, but if the Wildcats can get a committment from Cole Eiserman, that's like bringing in a 1st overall pick.
He's easily one of the top 10 2006 players in the world.

He's easily one of the top 10 2006 players in the world. If they had a commitment they probably take him ~10 rounds earlier. Great player to put on your list in case things go completely sideways for him but have to think the fact they waited to pick him in the American draft says it all in terms of his interest in playing in the Q. |

It's so odd to me that you could pick a kid in the draft and not know if he was committing to the team for the season.
I'm not a big fan of this American draft, sure there have been some players who came through and had good seasons with their teams but does the Q really need a draft for the 6 Americans who want to play here each season?

Yes because instead of forcing teams to do it in the regular draft and teams that have less of a chance at actually getting them were essentially losing out on picks |

Yes because instead of forcing teams to do it in the regular draft and teams that have less of a chance at actually getting them were essentially losing out on picks I mean with 14 rounds, if a guy is committed to your team and you know that, there's not much forcing happening. You either pick him or you don't, teams waste picks on Canadian players who never show up. |

To me the American draft shows how out of touch the league is with its fans. The draft is a gimmick and really takes away from the league and the offseason. Shouldn't I be excited my team has pick #1 in a draft? Shouldn't the league WANT me to be engaged and following the drafts, trades, etc? They seem to want that yet for us to also accept that the American draft is a farce that has no real point in that the players picked have little interest in the QMJHL. Just call it rounds 16 and 17 or whatever and call it a day. Giving it its own title and its own separate draft is just terrible business that does nothing to interest any fan, player, agent, etc. So if its doing nothing good even a slight bad thing means its completely pointless. |

Agreed. I'd rather see teams have a territorial pick or two over the American draft. |

Essentially the league just wants those players on protected lists so that if the player decides NCAA isn't for him, he ends up in the Q and not the OHL, basically protecting the territory. |

Essentially the league just wants those players on protected lists so that if the player decides NCAA isn't for him, he ends up in the Q and not the OHL, basically protecting the territory. Last 2 rounds of midget draft are strictly Americans only and all teams must protect 3 at all times. Mission accomplished. Nobody really cares who goes beyond round 3 of a midget draft anyway. But to see teams "waste" 1st round picks is just really bad marketing. They don't even bother to try only making it so Americans can't go in the Q draft which is really the dumb part as the second an American goes in round 4 or 5 of the midget draft their American draft stops having any point. Get them on the protected list quietly. Don't get people all geared up for a draft that exposes some of the flaws in your recruiting and marketing of your own league. |

I don't imagine teams even spend any resources scouting for this Teams have people watching those kids but its not to the same degree or interest of locals as its considerably heavier lifting to get that American interested and then you have to weigh whether they're worth the effort vs say the top kid from a local midget team. Add in the league making it near impossible for Americans to consider the Q now with the money limits in place and it really makes no sense to push something that has never worked. |
