Joshua Ho-Sang is a first-round pick (28th overall, 2014) who has played only 43 NHL games and is only 22 years old. (He has 22 points in those 43 games, by the way, rarely in a top line or power play role.)
By all rights and conventional norms, it is absurd to ask whether his time with the Isles has already come to an end but for the official transaction coming across the wire.
But so little with Ho-Sang’s career thus far has been conventional.
His independent and creative skills alone elicit debate, making old-school hockey types nervous.
