Seems pretty high to me honestly?70% odds to play in the NHL seems kinda low no? That was according to “The atlantic” graphic.
...play his freshman season at Minnesota-Duluth. He said he could turn pro after one or two seasons there.
Seems pretty high to me honestly?
Or they trade him like Nolan Foote?I hope this kid is ready soon, we need some top 6 help.
That was a great deal for us and helped us get back to back cups.Or they trade him like Nolan Foote?
Hope TB can mold this kid to something great
I think everyone likes those who go off script and are truthful and candid. That's different than sounding like an egotistical jock type of athlete. I felt Howard came off like this and was disappointed.People are already hating on this kid because he dared to go off the hockey cliché script and had some fun in an interview. For as much as hockey fans bitch about players' lack of personality, they are insanely terrified whenever anyone shows even a tiny bit of it.
Love the pick.
hit the usual learning curve of going to college level hockey. only has 1 goal and 6 points in 16 games. didnt make the USA WJC roster. hoping it sets a fire under him and he starts showing the skill we all know he hasAnyone watching Howard? How has his year gone so far?
Guys don't often score a ton at the college level though, its not like the OHL where guys are putting up crazy numbers. A PPG player in college is pretty damn good, for example. That said yeah, hoped to see more out of him but UMD was kinda ass last year.Yeah this is definitely better because I cannot comprehend how Howard scored so little at the college level like that. I cannot remark to the coaching he got but Howard's release is borderline Stamkosian and for a guy who outscored the 3rd pick in the draft on the same team in the same draft year, there had to be some sort of disconnect somewhere
BUMP Isaac Howard: It’s hard to call a player who is arguably his organization’s top prospect a quote-unquote riser, but in Howard’s case it applies. After a difficult freshman year at Minnesota-Duluth, Howard hit the transfer portal and now has points in 12 of his first 14 games at Michigan State. The Lightning need him to hit, so his bounce-back season is a big step forward. He looks like a first-rounder again and will be in the mix to make Team USA’s world juniors roster. — Scott Wheelerhttps://theathletic.com/5071668/2023/11/20/nhl-prospect-pipeline-top-risers?source=user-shared-articleWell, that's anticlimactic.
He could have held the hockey world's attention for weeks.
