for some context, Wheeler had Howard at #55 among his top 100 drafted prospects a few months ago (Flames had Parekh at #4, Gridin at #73 and Honzek at #74). Prospect tier 5, number 12 among left wingers.

Ultimately, Howard is a player who is always going to have PP utility but will require the right coach, usage and linemates to be the impactful top-six winger I think he’s capable of being at five-on-five. It has been nice, though, over the last two years to see him play with more jump, get to more loose pucks, move his feet to get off the wall and to the slot/net, and be above and supporting more pucks when the other team has possession.
