Pretty bad situation now with Jimmy. He is a great goalie who gave us some great goaltending but now his confidence must be shot and his value is plummeting.
Trade him to Edmonton for Yakupov and let's get started
Agreed.. perhaps we can package Weiss in for anything and shed some salary as well.
except jimmy has a NTC and wont be going to a bottom feeding team like edm and neither would Weiss rather trade them to SJ for Jumbo Joe and vlasic
He would go to be a part of the Connor McDavid era, I think

By the time edmonton is any good Howard is 30+ years retired
I think you're going to see some significant changes in Edmonton, as it pertains to their core, and I believe that they will start contending for the playoffs in 2-3 years and making long runs in the playoffs in 3-5 years. And the timing is right for Howard to get in on it and be a mentor to someone like Brossoit who can inherit the job when Howard's contract is up.
Not sure if Howard can Mentor anyone other then 1st half of the season play
Hell.. Mrazek was mentoring Howard on rebound controls and playing the puck

I have still yet to see Mrazek better at that, personally.
As far as next season, the starting job is Mrazek's to lose, but I won't be surprised if Howard makes a competition of it in training camp/preseason.
Helene St. James tweeted earlier that when asked about his future with the Wings, Jimmy responded "Ask Kenny."
Pipe dream here but what if we could move Jimmy+Pulks+1st to St. Louis for Shattenkirk? That would solve a couple defensive issues...

That package will not get Shattenkirk
I sincerely apologize for not bolding the PIPE DREAM part.. Howard+1st in this draft would bring a pretty solid return I would think, it's just a matter of finding a team that needs a goalie... Edmonton, St Louis, Buffalo and potentially San Jose?

Howard isn't much of an upgrade on the goalies they already have. And why would they take a small forward? Doesn't seem to fit their team identity very well.
