Howard more value this coming season in Detroit than Neuvirth has with Vokoun in town. So for one year I def want Howard. Gotta see how things play out in Washington. Also Howard may or may not be the long term answer in Detroit.
I think if u have a solid shot to " WIN" this year you make a deal for Howard and just see how things go from there. You could part with Franzen, you have quite a bit of depth at RW
