Here’s the latest: Edmonton Oilers left wing Isaac Howard—the reigning Hobey Baker Award winner—has left Edmonton for Tampa Bay. He’s signed a three-year, entry-level deal worth $23.6 million (total) with the Lightning .

Recap of the deal:

  • Trade: Howard moves to Tampa Bay in exchange for forward prospect Sam O’Reilly .
  • Contract details: His three-year entry-level agreement begins in the 2025–26 season, totaling $23.6 million .
  • Why it happened: Lightning GM Julien BriseBois indicated Howard preferred charting his own NHL path, making a Tampa agreement unlikely. Edmonton, on the other hand, immediately locked him in .

This move signals a strong belief in Howard’s NHL potential. Tampa Bay clearly sees him as a significant part of their offensive future.

Let me know if you’d like a breakdown of how this impacts both teams’ lineups or future cap space!
