Isaac Howard Facts

Cap Hit: $972,500Powered by
NHL Rights: Edmonton Oilers / Signed
Drafted: 2022 round 1 #31 overall by Tampa Bay Lightning

Right away, Howard’s skating stands out. Pushes his knees past his toes, engaged his hips, and maintains his posture in tight, while deking, or on the backcheck. His top hand moves freely around his body, which he turns into incredible stickhandling displays. When handling, he’s scanning. Adjusts body positioning to get pressure on his back, then uses hesitations and changes of pace to slip around the check. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
