www.mlive.com/redwings/2019/03/nhl-draft-lottery-to-be-held-april-9.htmlWe're going to end up with the worst point total since can way back I can't remember It was sort of depressing when I looked that we have 12 games left and only 58 points. If we win our last 12 (lol, yeah right) we'd end up with 82 points, win half of the last 12 and we end up with 70 pts! Lets go #1 draft pick

Wings sign Howard for one more loooong season. As posted before he will help the Wings get high draft picks. Just tired of looking at him. LGDRAFT!

But all i can hope is that he won't play 60 games, that he won't be consider the only goalie of this team. We need to gradually bring new blood in front of our net. BUT If none of our Young goalie prospects are ready what else can we do ? Sign someone from outside ? name one good goalie available for next year and we can discuss…. We still need two goalies for next season and i'm not sure any of our current GR goalie will ever become a regular in the NHL so… Go Howie Go ? (ouch i bite my tongue !)

I not too happy with the price and timing of the signing. With incentive bonus it could be a 5.5 million deal. At least we only OVER PAID in $ and not duration. I would have let him "test" the free agent waters and see what other teams would be willing to pay for 3 goal Jimmy Howard before I made him an offer. I'll make an educated guess that 30 teams would not be offering him what Kenny Holland did. I sure hope there isn't a NTC in the deal just in case there is a team desperately needing a goalie. I actually think Bernier would be better than Jimmy if roles we reversed.
We still have 7 million tied up in goalies who are not capable of taking their team in deep playoff runs.
Without a coaching change anything and everything is moot...we'll just be a team with some talent who still sucks and may miss the playoffs again next season.

cap hit 5,1 but his wages will be 4m. The rest is bonus if we make the playoffs. He doesn't have a NTC..witch Don't change anything, even if you have one you can still be traded, the player can veto any trade though...like Gus did.
