From Tampa, instead of Howard, my main prospect would be Jack Thompson. Right D, offensive/2 way, Canadian. Was good in the WJHC, and for analytics guys his NHLe curves up over his AHL seasons.
As a secondary prospect, Niko Huuhtanen. Power forward RWer playing, and almost a PPG in Liiga. Also a good NHLe. His contract with Jokerit is up this year and could come over for next season. He was given the Wolf treatment in his draft year and was the last guy picked. He’s likely a boom/bust type of prospect but that physical play, size, and scoring ability he’s shown so far would be intriguing.
