I agree I could see howard playing well with a good team. Last year I thought was one of his best years still playing from such a bad defensive team. if both goalies are out for a bit would be a good idea but Detroit would probably help by retaining 50%. But deal would be pretty good

Yeah, I can easily see Detroit doing that too. I still think Howard is actually really underrated.

Also when I made this deal, I seriously considered throwing in Glendening. Detroit would trade him right?

Glenny would be great for this team but hes well respected with the wings and a good leader. can play on all 4 lines and PK. I think wings would want a higher value because of it but would be like 3rd rd maybe to make it worth while for them. but very affordable player. Helm would be the other that would be good for Carolina. has best +/- for the wings and same style as glenny. But just cant expect them to put up all kinds of points.

For howard with having such a hard season would also like to see Detroit resign him as a good backup rather then signing a goalie with an overpayment and let some prospects develop
