I like Crawford for this year & future.
Chicago is a very strong team. Detroit, not so much (IMO).
Going for it this year, but always like the best keeper option too

If your primary focus is going for it THIS year...then Crawford has to be your man. I think Howard is the better goalie long term, but I forsee quite a speedbump for Detriot over the next season or two as they wait for Smith to develop and hope to keep Kronwall and White...and likely add another significant Defender.
I trust Crawford about as far as I can throw him, but you can't deny the stellar 2 way talent infront of him. Crawford will finish leaps and bounds ahead of Howard this year.
I'd go Crawford for sure. Both Chicago and Crawford are playing out their minds right now and should only get better.
Detroit it's readjusting. Think they may struggle to make the playoffs for the first time in a while. Howard is steady but Crawford seems real solid to me.
