Not what I said at all. What I am saying is Blashill should play Howard, the team will still make the playoffs with him while he gets to buff up his stats for a trade. He deserves to be starter. He needs to be a starter somewhere.
Last year at this time Howards stats mirrored Mrazeks his first 31 games. Howard was an all-star last year until he got injured. Wings haven't given him a chance to get back to game shape. Howard has trade value when he puts up 2.08 goals-against average and .921 save percentage like he did last year to start the season.
Soon Mrazek will get a big raise and Red Wings will have 8+ million tied up just in goaltending.
He has been playing poorly, he doesn't deserve to be the starter. That's not how professional sports works. He can get occasional starts and if he does well in those then maybe he gets more starts.
