That’s what I thought about the last couple and they all turned out bad. Oilers going to Oiler.

			Top six LW spot open for him. Wouldn't take much convincing to sign him. "Play with McJesus or Draisaitl"

			Another prima donna for the Oilers. He'll fit in just fine up there.

			I thought I heard (read?) that Howard didn't want to stay with Tampa, and Oilers really liked him, so....

			Isn’t Sam O'Rielly the guy they made that ridiculous trade for? I bet their scouts fought really hard for that pick, must be frustrating to see him traded already.

			This past season was one of the weakest years for NCAA prospects in recent memory. Howard essentially won the Hobey by default. He's not much better than O'Reilly by any stretch of the imagination.

			As a Knights fan I am so happy for Sammy. I think he will be the better player.

			Love O'Reilly. I was hoping the Flames would get him last year. I think the Bolts got a great player.

He is in for one hell of a rude awakening.

			Howard is an entitled no goof who wanted gifted ice time. 
 Last time a ncaa player demanded a spot Oilers signed him. Justin Schultz.
