Where is Cole Eiserman?

dogheels​ I was referring to the fact that Wahlstrom was in an AHL lineup under a PTO and not tied to an NHL contract, just like Eiserman. I’m aware that Wahlstrom is a licensed NHLPA player and can be used in the game. Eiserman signed his entry-level contract on March 19 and made his AHL debut on March 20, so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

As of now, he has played two AHL games in a licensed league and is already being used in two other modes. EA was given advance notice about this, and ever since his WJC card was released in HUT, people have been asking to be able to use him offline. The response has been along the lines of, “As soon as he has an NHL contract or has played an NHL game, he can be used.” The AHL was also brought up, and the same answer was given.

So you don’t think it’s strange or poorly handled by EA not to make sure he could be added to the AHL lineup? I do. That’s why my complaint and disappointment are completely valid.

Eiserman, although drafted by the Islanders in 2024. He didnt sign an entry level contract until Mar 26. As well as an AHL contract around the same time. Walstrom signed a 3 year entry level contract in 2019 with the Islanders. Not sure where your headed with your complaint. Unless a player is under a contract recognized by the NHLPA. He is ineligible to be used by EA in their game. Being drafted, doesnt make them eligible, until a contract is signed, allowing them to  play in either the NHL. AHL or ECHL. 

well, disappointing but thanks for your clarification anyway

We have limited rights as to how he can be used in the game. This isn't something we have any control over.

But you have him in the game already? Make it make sense.

This is an player featured in 2 other modes, 2 ahl games down already? This is bs. Totally unfair, great job letting fans down guys.

Hi there. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, we don't have the rights to have him in the game. Players get added in the beginning of the new season. Due to being this late in the season, we'll have to wait until a future game before we have the rights to include him.
