Hobey Baker Winner Howard Shocker: Lightning Send Star to Oilers in Unexpected Trade Rift
Isaac Howard, who won the 2025 Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the top men’s player in NCAA ice hockey, was traded to the Edmonton Oilers by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday for Sam O’Reilly.
Howard then signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Edmonton.
The 21-year-old forward had 52 points (26 goals, 26 assists) in 37 games last season, his second at Michigan State University after beginning his collegiate career at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He was selected by the Lightning in the first round (No. 31) of the 2022 NHL Draft.
