NHL:
Is Isaac Howard’s departure offset by Sam O’Reilly’s addition, and what does that mean for TB’s long-term depth plan?
Qwiket AI:
Howard’s exit is offset by a flexible, stopgap asset in O’Reilly who can contribute in multiple roles. If O’Reilly and the rest of the depth players perform, TB gains balance and flexibility, supporting a longer-term plan built around a core that remains capable of maintaining a championship trajectory.
