Prospect Info: 2022 31st Overall Pick | LW Isaac Howard

[Hockeyville USA]

The Leafs signed Knies right before their playoff series with us and he was a big factor. If the coaches and front office think Howard is NHL ready I see no reason not to sign him for a playoff run. Would much rather run him out there than 11/7 with Perbix against good teams.

He'll get a couple games after State is done & we're clinched, thus need to rest roster players. We'll see if they're willing to put him in playoff games.

Knies had the body type & playing style to easily adjust to playoff hockey, plus the Leafs had bent over backwards the previous year to try to get him signed, they were willing to play him right away.

If the Spartans beat Ohio State tomorrow, I have to imagine any Gator fans are going to be that much more tickled

No one really cares about Ohio State Hockey, and few that are outside of the normal 10ish states follow NCAA Hockey, probably won't register.

Interested to see if State can go on a run to the Final and win their first National Championship since 2007, or if Augustine melts down again like he did last year. Then Howard should get his ELC signed & get a few games for us.

I really hope Howard is keeping up with his conditioning in all this spare time. Imagine being 3 weeks into March tomorrow and having played twice in a month. I know they're up against basketball but holy f***

Just wondering out loud. Does Howard still have NCAA eligibility?

Maybe he likes the college scene. If the Lightning don’t ante up, maybe his NIL deal is a better option for him. Hope he signs with the Bolts, but what if he and his agent sense he won’t get an opportunity to play top 6 minutes. When drafted Howard showed a bit of a ego.

Caleb Williams wins the Heisman at USC, was draft eligible but returned to school. Read where he had one deal with United Airlines for 1 million dollars. Another deal with Beats for rumored more money.

That’s the leverage he has to ensure he gets some NHL play this year.
