"Look good, feel good."

No NHL hopeful embodied that statement more than Isaac Howard.

The 17-year old was touted as one of the best prospects coming out of North America this season. Sporting News' Bryan Murphy had him slated to go No. 18 to the Stars in his final first round mock draft.

Howard ended up slipping slightly to the Lightning at No. 31. But decked out in a clean snow-white suit and a sleek grey turtleneck, Howard looked like a million bucks. He even had the American flag belt buckle to boot.

Very nice, indeed.

Howard knew he was dripping, too. Listen to his pre-draft interview. The guy was exuding the style of a pure fashionista.

"Dress to impress, that's my memo," Howard said.

Well, he certainly did that Thursday night. 

Howard, also known as "The Ice Man", was even more bold after getting selected.

That's one way to get people talking.

A lot of pundits see Howard as a potential steal at No. 31. Getting a chance to develop in the incubator that is Tampa Bay's farm system should help with his progression.

Either way, Howard looks poised to be stunting on and off the ice at the next level.
