Why would they want Howard?
Jimmy is good when he stays healthy yes, key word being when, and it has not been from over work that he has gotten hurt. but sadly in the real world he is not getting younger and is going to get hurt more and more father time catches us all at some point.If Jimmy played on a good team, his numbers would look way better than they do. He isn't top 5 or anything like that, but he takes too much flak, as when he is healthy he is very capable of helping good teams win. Our defence is atrocious, any goaltender will wear down as the season goes on, when you are constantly under attack.
Because Jimmy is a bona fide starter. Scott Darling is not. Sure, the Canes will have a lot tied up in goatlending, but Jimmy's a UFA after this year. They can afford the "sink or swim" risk, especially since they just signed DeHaan.
As stupid as it may sound, Howard for Faulk is a good starting point for both teams. Hell, bring back Mrazek to back up Bernier, fight for a spot with Sateri, or just find his game again in Grand Rapids; any scenario makes the Wings a better team with Faulk on the back end.
... unless you're one of those people who want to see the Wings lose...
When he’s on his game and healthy he absolutely is.Jimmy is not even in the top 20.

I could think Toronto is planning to land Faulk+Skinner, sending Nylander the other way.
It's almost as if Toronto had a (Shana)plan all along.I mean that wouldn't be fair.
Skinner - Matthews - Hyman
Marleau - Tavares - Marner
Brown - Kadri - Kapanen
Johnsson - Jooris - Leivo
Rielly - Faulk
Gardiner - Hainsey
Zaitsev - Dermott/Carrick/Liljegren

Ya I agree, I could really see Carolina wanting Svech from us for faulk because little Svech is there future along with Aho and Necas and would make sense for both teams too.I don't understand this goalie non-sense in this Carolina case.
They already signed Mrazek. And they have Darling. They are set. Period.

What comes to Faulk-trade, our package still starts with Atnasiou and Svechnikov. Those are clear trade baits, just because of the brother-thing and Athanasiou as being our main bait.
Also, now we have surplus in forwards (Carolina's need) and this kind of trade would open the slot for Zadina.
The only year he was above the league average there is in 16-17 and he only played in 26 games that yearJimmy Howard SV%:

Goalies just aren’t worth that much. If a deal goes down, the only way I see Howard involved is if it’s to make salary work. Otherwise, I just don’t see it.
No. No it's not. Not when they can get actual assets from other teams. Go find some Faulk trade threads and look at the names and items being discussed...then try to sub out the best asset in return and sub in Jimmy Howard and tell me if that seems like a basis that makes any sense.
We will take your 26 year old top 4 RHD and in return you can have our 34 year old goalie who probably ranks around league average with streaks of being top 10 and streaks of being barely replacement level.
