Former First Round Pick Has Contract Terminated

After a disagreement with management, this former first-round pick has decided to terminate their contract.

Quinton Howden had previously signed a contract with Vasterviks IK in HockeyAllsvenskan, the Swedish second-tier club. However, due to a disagreement with Vasterviks IK management, he has decided to take his talents elsewhere.

Howden was a former first-round draft pick in 2010 by the Florida Panthers. He has seen some NHL time, playing some games for Florida and Winnipeg before heading to the KHL and then the European Leagues.

Where he ends up this close to the start of the season, that's to be seen.
