And, you know, you take the breaks that are afforded to you, and he needs to do that. voice-verified

And, you know, I mean... voice-verified

Some modest concern with that line just structurally when they get into NHL games, but if you look at it from just Ike Howard's perspective, you have a tremendous F1 in Zach Hyman, who's great on the forecheck. voice-verified

You have an unbelievable passer of the puck in Ryan Nugent-Hawkins, and... voice-verified

Ike Howard brings the missing piece to that, although certainly Nuge can shoot the puck, but Ike Howard can just flat out shoot the puck. voice-verified

It's an interesting combination, and I'll be curious to see how it performs for him. voice-verified

hard to argue that he could be in a better spot other than if he was taking Vasily Podkolzin's spot on the top line. voice-verified

Yeah, there voice-verified

go. voice-verified

You just can't deem that to him, right? voice-verified

He's got to voice-verified

Yeah, for sure, right? voice-verified

I mean, all you're looking for from Ike Howard in terms of progression is really his off-the-puck play voice-verified

Uh, and his, you know, so we talk about things like, uh, fleeing the zone when he sees maybe an opportunity, uh, to get a puck and go up the ice and maybe doing that a little bit too aggressively before, you know, his teammates had control of the puck, uh, voice-verified

You know, maybe hanging on to the puck too long and instead of giving it up to a teammate and getting into another spot. voice-verified

Those are the things that he was working on or it was clear that the coaching staff wanted him to work on. voice-verified

You know, I thought he progressed very nicely. voice-verified

He's really not bad in his own zone defensively. voice-verified

I don't even think that was all that much of an issue. voice-verified

He can get lost like any young player can, but it's not for a lack of effort, for sure. voice-verified
