2025 Fantasy Outlook
Howard agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with Edmonton in the summer after being acquired from Tampa Bay. The 21-year-old forward collected 26 goals and 52 points in 37 games with Michigan State University in 2024-25. He will get every opportunity to secure a roster spot with the Oilers out of training camp and should land a place in the team’s top nine. Howard’s offensive upside makes him an intriguing option in keeper formats, and he could have plenty of fantasy value in standard leagues if he plays alongside Leon Draisaitl or Connor McDavid in 2025-26.

Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers in July of 2025.
Three-point effort in AHL win
Howard scored twice and added an assist in AHL Bakersfield's 3-2 overtime win over Calgary on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Howard has five points over four contests since his latest demotion off the NHL roster. The 21-year-old winger hasn't been an instant success for the Oilers, but he's been very good at the AHL level with 12 goals and 28 points over 20 appearances. As long as he can avoid slumping with the Condors, Howard will be well-positioned as the next man up whenever the Oilers need a winger.

ANALYSIS
Howard was initially expected to return to Michigan State for the 2025-26 season, but that changed after he was traded to the Oilers from the Lightning in July. He signed a three-year, entry-level deal with Edmonton upon being dealt and will see NHL playing time to begin the regular season. Howard will serve in a bottom-six role early in the year and could move between Edmonton and AHL Bakersfield if he struggles to carve out consistent playing time in the NHL.
