Don’t wanna get too excited about this player just yet. It’s a big big jump from college to the NHL let alone onto a cup challenging team. I see the potential but hopefully the jump isn’t too much
If Howard and Savoie can put the puck where 97&29 want it, then they will succeed. They both have the hands to get the puck in the net. The Oilers need finishers.
This is a team where you can't be expected to be guy … Holloway, McLeod, Yamamoto, a bunch of top 9 free agent acquisitions. Just shut up and play beneath McDavid and draisiatl. Maybe it's time the message and culture changes to actually utilize these players and have the leaders be more selfless. The media doesn't dictate the strategy. I like the Oilers, but outside of winning lottery picks, which are gimmes, how they've managed and developed the team around that (which is everything) has been driven by ego.

Very excited to see what we have with this kid
Seems like a good kid, excited to see him score big this year

I love this kid
ICE MAN 🧊
Really hope this kid pans out. Oilers are in dire need for a young shifty shooter like this
I love him! Hope he does well!
You got this Isaac. 💙🧡😁
Excited he's an Oiler but I am very skeptical about him making the team out of camp.
Considering the press and media, I think these guys have no idea what to do in front of a monstrous Edmonton press
Very excited to see Ike make his stamp on the team!! Thinking he will fit in nicely!

There are teams where the goalie is the 6th skater on the ice. On the Oilers anyone of the 5 skaters can be a 2nd goalie 😂😂😂

If he can get 20g-25g and 45-50pts first year huge win for us
5:35 what’s he saying, “if there’s a chipper nearby?” Does he mean chipotle?
Hope he lights it up with either Mcdavid or Draisaitl
Nice to see his ego's taken a back seat (at least in media scrums); interviews from college days are pretty annoying.
He has a great shot, if his positional play and hockey smarts are on par he should have a great season here… can't wait till it's underway
Howard's biggest challenge as an Oilers rookie? Dealing with nonsensical repetitive questions from Mark Spector lol.
