To Det: lowest of the three 7th rd picks Philly has.

Flame away.

What's his injury situation?

 

[Dead Thing Fan]

Had a slight setback in GR on his re-hap stint. Proposal is for off season, so I'm sure he will be fine.

 

[Curufinwe]

If he's fully healthy it's worth considering. He only has two years left.

It's nothing to flame you over, but I guess I just don't see the point of doing it.
I don't really want to be committed to Howard, even if it's only for two years.
I think you are going to have trouble moving him, to be honest.

id probably totally do this deal. Buys more time for prospects and he can be a decent backup if prospects surge ahead.

Would be all over it if we didn't just re-sign Neuvirth.

If Neuvirth is claimed by Vegas, I do this deal in a second.

Agreed, even if he is healthy I wouldn't want to be rolling Howard and Neuvirth behind all the youth on D that we will have in the next couple years.
I really hope we manage to get a good starter this off-season.
I know a lot of people are against it, but I wouldn't mind Bishop.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

I'd do it. With how often Howard and Neuvy are injured, Stolarz could spend next season as the full time backup getting some meaningful NHL reps as we juggle H and N on IR.

Why are people ignoring 3 straight years of Howard being bad because he has had 17 games this year of being good?

The previous 141 games, SV% under .910.

No thanks.

I know he isn't good. I'd just be willing to take him as a backup/off-chance that he'd be good for a pick.

Then again, he would be an expensive one. Meh.

I'm pretty indifferent all-around.

 

[Starat327]

I mean, if we tried to platoon Howard and Neuvirth - two goalies who cant seem to stay healthy - we'd be paying, what? 5 Mil in goaltending. That's pretty good. Unfortunately, you dont know which Neuvirth or Howard is ever going to show up.

It would allow Stolarz to get another chance at a full time work load in the A though.

I expect us to acquire another low cost goalie between now and September, im just not sure if Howard is who it'll be. I guess i wouldnt hate it, but i wouldnt love it either.

 

[dats81]

I'd rather pick Halak over Howard.
