Michigan State hockey forward Isaac Howard will start his pro hockey career rather than return to the Spartans. Howard signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, July 8, after being traded from the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward prospect Sam O'Reilly.
The Lightning had a fine prospect in Isaac Howard. Drafted in the first round in 2022, the American forward won the NCAA’s Hobey Baker Trophy this season.
