Nope Detroit can't afford to move Jimmy right now, And by all accounts they plan on resigning him to at least a 2 year deal.

I think if the package is right, Kenny may move him. They can always resign him for next season. Lipanov is probably not enough, you may have to go up 1 level on the prospect. Somppi, Raddysh or Volkov would probably get it done.

Within division the package would've to be pretty nice for Holland to move Jimmy, Seeing that Yzerman is no longer GM there. Not sure it would happen. But i see your point. Go ahead and deal him and we can still resign him next summer if need be.

Unnecessary. Howard is a rental goalie who will be playing the backup role if not put on waivers before Domingue once Vasilevskiy returns. Tampa wouldn't touch this deal unless Vasi is suspected to be out for the whole season/playoffs.

If anything Lipanov is a sweetener, there may be some bias, but Tampa wouldn't even consider moving any of those prospects for a player like Howard who isn't really needed on the current roster. He'd be a temp position, then dealt again or thrown on waivers in Tampa.
