Get real Detroit wont accept any thing less then a 2nd for Luke Glendening, And Howard wont sign for any thing less then 2 x 4 Your signing is a joke no way Howard accepts that little.

You must be a diehard red wings fan. Overvaluing your players. Howard will be 35 to start the season. Just wanted a veteran goalie on the team. Not a high demand for goalies lately. Because Howard is so great I'll go 2 x $2,600,000. I didn't know 4th line players were going for 2nd round picks. Maybe he's a 2nd line player on your dumpster fire. Just wanted a 4th liner to kill penalties. A 3rd pick and 4th pick isn't too far off from this 2nd round pick you speak of. Would you settle for two 3rd round picks?

It's pure fact that Holland wont accept any thing less then a 2nd for Luke, Holland and Blashill like him. He's technically not on the market for any thing less then over-payment. Howard is still starter material not a backup what you're proposing is backup money. Howard will get at least 2 x 4 mark my words.

Michigan native Ryan Miller is still pretty good and signed on to be a backup for 2 × 2,000,000. Only a year older than Howard at the time. The goalie market is strange, we'll see what happens. It was a tough call between Miller or Howard.
