He is a great prospect for where we drafted him but he definitely has a ways to go, probably a couple years in Abbottsford at least would be my guess.

If you don't know a lot about him, why make definitive statements about "what he needs to work on to become an NHL forward?"
Sorry to pick on you specifically but thats one thing that bugs me about amateur-amateur scouting. You have no idea, but you post that and suddenly a bunch of people around here get it in their heads that Howse is a lazy, one dimensional player, which really is not the truth at all.
He's not a Selke winner out there but he's really worked hard the last couple years on his defensive game and fitness and last year and this year so far has played in every situation.
