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.

I was just commenting on all the highlight clips I just watched to make a highlight video for him... He often cherry picks and is also often seen floating into the picture just as the other team scores.
Lots of offensive players have this problem, the ones that learn to overcome it are the ones that make it into the NHL.
I don't get why you are freaking out as I just said that is what he needs to work on otherwise he could turn out like A LOT of other WHL/AHL guys that excel at that level but can't take the step to the NHL.
It is the only thing holding him back, his release is second to few even in the NHL and he knows exactly where to go to score goals.
