"He hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but forward Isaac Howard has NHL.com's fantasy experts buzzing about his potential value during this upcoming season. After three impressive years in the NCAA including a Hobey Baker win, Howard is poised to crack the Edmonton Oilers' full-time roster -- and some even project him to skate on the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman."
"He had a breakout season with Michigan State this past year, putting up 26 goals and 52 points in 37 games. Howard is a shot on goal machine, recording five or more SOG in 17 games this past season, including a career-high 11 SOG in a single outing. He is incredibly efficient at creating space for himself or finding open lanes, and his laser-accurate shot often winds up hitting the target."
Fantasy hockey drafts emphasize superstars, but late-round sleepers and rookies can provide significant roster value. Isaac Howard projects to make the Edmonton Oilers' roster and could skate on a top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman after a breakout Michigan State season (26 goals, 52 points in 37 games). Howard generates shots, recording five or more SOG in 17 games and a career-high 11 SOG in one outing, and creates space with a laser-accurate shot. Dylan Strome, age 28, led Washington with 82 points, has four consecutive 20-goal seasons, and has improved puck distribution and power-play production.
