We will have a lot more to say about Isaac Howard, the newest member of the Tampa Bay Lightning, later today, but on first impression, it’s possible the Bolts picked up a future playmaker at the end of the first round. On a day that saw presumptive number one overall, Shane Wright, fall to the fourth pick, and a bevy of trades, the Lightning simply went with the best player available in drafting Howard. He is committed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth next season, and has the type of skill that projects as a top-six winger who can fill the net with pucks.
