OTTAWA, Ontario — Cole Eiserman and his sharpshooting talent is now a member of the Islanders’ organization.
Eiserman, the 20th overall pick in 2024, agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract that begins next season, the team announced on Wednesday. However, Eiserman, 19, is expected to finish this season with the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport on an ATO (amateur tryout offer).
Eiserman had 18 goals and 10 assists in 32 games as a Boston University sophomore. The product of Newburyport, Massachusetts is a talented offensive player whose two-way game must improve.
Defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson, the 17th overall pick in 2025, signed his ELC on Tuesday.
Andrew Gross joined Newsday in 2018 to cover the Islanders. He began reporting on the NHL in 2003 and has previously covered the Rangers and Devils. Other assignments have included the Jets, St. John’s and MLB.
