Moving Jimmy

I agree that it is highly unlikely. He could bring a better return though. And he will command a higher salary than Howard in the future. So, I would have to see what the deal was before freaking out.

Yeah. Maybe he could bring a low 1st round pick

He won't bring anything of value goalies never do. Howard isn't a Stanley cup winner. So your gonna have to find a new goalie all over again. (Will the system work? Is he even good)

If you put him in a package you might find a good prize. But then it's pretty much the same team

Howard is a step down not to mention the assets you already lost

All of those goalies are considered overpaid.

Rinne has been losing the Preds games left and right and some suspect he'll never be good again, due to injuries.

Lehtonen, Ward, and Niemi are, at best, variants of Osgood, without the career/franchise stability.

Don't know much about Bobrovsky other than that he's had injury issues too.

You just put Howard in a class that most consider to be overpaid hacks.

Also, Howard has never looked as naturally talented as Pete and has also never put such a mediocre team on his back like Pete has. This team's leading scorer is on pace for 53 points. And this isn't a lockout year.

In fairness to Ward, he does have career/franchise stability to him, 10 years in Carolina, the only team he has played for. He debuted in 2005-2006 and is still there.
