Adam Gretz of NBC Sports: Another trade deadline means another chance that Jimmy Howard gets traded. Howard is approaching 35 and the tail end of his career. H’e is putting up excellent numbers – a .916 save percentage and a .930 even strength save percentage. However, Howard playing when Detroit contends again is not likely.
Teams which might inquire about Howard could include the San Jose Sharks, Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Colorado Avalanche.
Colorado presents as an intriguing destination because of history and the Avalanche are slumping.
