C Brett Howden (2016, 27th, TBL; traded to NYR)

[Daneurism]

2013-14 Season
29GP-20G-26A-46P (Eastman Selects Midget AAA, MMHL)
5GP-1G-0A-1P (Moose Jaw Warriors, WHL)

Is a bit overshadowed by other outstanding players in the 98 WHL class like Nolan Patrick, Kale Clague, and Tyler Benson, but he really seems to be chugging along.

Just noticed he put up 2G and 5A(4 primary) in a 7-5 win today.

Looking like quite a player.

Does he play like his brother, or at least skate like him?

Been lucky enough to see him 4 times this year. Big body, very smart and skates well. Played on the MJ Warriors top line with Point and Fioretti when I saw him in the Dub. Dominated with Patrick at the Western U16. Has the physical tools to be successful right away. Really good footspeed and stong in the corners. Going to be a good one.

Those are impressive numbers. Could be a name to watch indeed for 2016.

Moose Jaw has been horrendous to watch this year. I have season tickets but I have been looking forward to watching the guys from other teams more than the guys on the Warriors. Lets hope they can actually put together a team to play with him because I don't want him to have to play with what Point has had to play with this season.

Very True at least Warriors have 2 skilled guys now

 

[landy92mack29]

good start to his draft year with 1G+1A. Looking like a 1st rounder and a key player for the Warriors.

 

[Sticks and Pucks]

How's this guy looking so far? Does he project to be better than Quinton?

 

[landy92mack29]

Has been great today(1G+1A so far) and 17G+19A in 38 games on the year. I don't think he'll ever be an offensive force but a great all-around player who is a 2nd-3rd tweener. Great 200ft player with 35-45 pts a year I'd say in the NHL. Think he'll go in 25-45 range come draft day.

 

[Woodhouse]

Excellent opening round for Howden vs PA .. 5GP 3+8=11 .. one-timed a cross-ice feed on the PP for his goal tonight and proved to be a handful when given any space.

 

[Mad Brills*]

2nd round?

 

[Mark Kandy]

2nd round?

I'd predict early 2nd round. Good size and he's a born-leader. Good work ethic. Able to contribute offensively. I'd absolutely love it if the Habs picks him with the 39th pick!

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

He's stepped up massively. Promising.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Has looked excellent at the U-18 since joining the team late.

Looks to be a better prospect than his brother.

 

[Flames Draft Watcher]

How is this guy not rated in the 1st? Looks far more offensively gifted than McLeod and has good size and skating.

 

[Brodeur]

How is this guy not rated in the 1st? Looks far more offensively gifted than McLeod and has good size and skating.

Seems to be trending up. Central had him #22 on their final list among North Americans. ISS had him #24 in their latest top 30.

 

[Jayevs]

This kid screams Boone Jenner to me.

 

[seafoam]

Can definitely see a team taking him between 24-32.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

1st Round IMO

 

[Patmac40]

He could easily go late first, or even mid second. It's weird. You could probably take all the guys between 25-45, randomize the names to change the order, and you probably wouldn't have many people objecting to it. A lot of similar level talents depending on what you like in a player.

 

[Sputniker]

Who would be Howden's comparable in the NHL?

That reminds me of 2011, and that is not a good thing. Mainly because Leafs heavily botched it, would probably think different if we pulled in Saad and Rakell instead of Biggs and Percy.

 

[Mark Kandy]

If he falls to Montreal's 2nd rounder (39th), I'll cry a tear of joy honestly.

He is really good, and he is a born leader. He's doing good at the U18, but had a really good junior season and he was also brilliant at the U17 last year, where I saw him play for the first time!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Braydon Shenn ... projected comparable...2nd line Center
