Howden is the kind of cerbral and skilled player you keep

He will Have periods of non productivity on the score sheet but he helps you win games
 
Pretty spot on.

He’s a versatile player who has shown an ability to play a number of roles — offensively and defensively.

Both in the WHL and the international stage, he’s a kid who shows up for the important games.

I remember the 2016 WHL playoffs was the first time I really looked at Howden and thought people were probably under-projecting him. They weren’t taking into account how he was growing and putting the pieces together and realizing how quickly he was progressing.

That continued in his D+1 season and beyond. It wasn’t because he was steamrolling people, it was because the kid knew how to play effective hockey. I watched him go head to head against guys like Glass and some of the league’s best and he consistently stood out. Then I watched him go to the WJC in a role where he wasn’t expected to get a lot of points or looks, and there he was — making me take notice.

I know this team still needs more skill and offense, and Howden will not be the guy to lead either of those charges. But he really is the type of player you win with.

Sounds like you're describing Chris Drury.
 
I gotta say though that their d zone scheme is light years better than anything AV ever put out
