F Tanner Howe - Regina Pats, WHL (2024 Draft)

No Bedard no party

Did anyone notice him at the U18‘s?

Another disappointing U18 WJC from Howe.

Is he to Bedard what Dany Roussin was to Crosby back in the days? A great junior player that is the product of a generational talent.

If Howe develops well, he could be a middle six player with a booming PP shot.

I don't see much more sadly.

I think he's showed some hockey sense in the 10-12 Regina games I saw this year. For example a few power plays he was below the goal line and is able to move it quick to the bumper for a 1-T. He showed compete on pucks too.

Of course next year will be telling how he carries the play. The first two games I saw him he was really good and driving play on his own, so I'm like okay he has a chance to be decently high on my 2024 list, but the more I saw I pulled back the reigns a bit, but I'll stay reserved until midway through next year.

Not at all.

Roussin was 2-3 years older than Crosby, Howe is a yearish young than Bedard.

Howe produces better with Bedard but IMO plays a more impactful game away from him (long term, not immediate).

I see Howe becoming a buzzsaw out there in the next few years, will definitely be a solid contributor and player to build a junior team around.

Remember, he's a 2024 prospect not a 2023 one, he's not eligible for NHL teams to draft him for another year. This year was underaged Howe not oberaged Roussin.

I don't expect him to become a top 5 pick, I suspect he likely remains a late first range pick, but he's a solid player and developing well.

Is it strange that Howe and Pats are scoring more goals, more points without Connor Bedard?
- no Suzdalev, no Svozil either.

Howe is 2.00 ppg in 3 games. So great start for his draft season.
Sure its just 3 games but still, its interesting.

not really strange...now the team can play a more team game rather than let Bedard do it all...

 

[Bubbles]

Well, he's really answered by biggest criticism of him this year...can he do it without Bedard? The answer is yes. 2 G 1A tonight, a constant play driver.

I think it had more to do with most prospects still being in NHL camps for the first handful of games. He has steadily kept it going though. Regina doesn't have any drafted guys that they are getting back this season.

Highly underrated season having. I'd pick him very early..

Wonder who takes him and where. Would be interesting if Chicago picks him in the 2nd or 3rd round, potential to play with Bedard again down the road.
