Summary
Isaac Howard’s fall off the Daily Faceoff top 75 doesn’t signal a bust—it just means the Oilers’ prospect pool got deeper. After a slow NHL start (2G, 5P in 29 games), he exploded in the AHL with 24 goals and 50 points, showing elite rookie potential. But his game isn’t evolving much, and while he could still be a top-six scorer, his ceiling is capped by lack of physicality and defensive depth. Acquired in a trade for Sam O’Reilly—a more reliable two-way center—Howard’s path is now tied to injuries and roster needs. Still, don’t count him out: he’s projected to crack the Oilers’ roster and could even get a top-six call-up if things break right.
