The Detroit Red Wings have already set the asking price for their trade rumor headliners. As fellow Octopus Thrower contributor recently wrote, the price for both Gustav Nyquist and Jimmy Howard; the at a first round pick.
Howard’s future is uncertain at the time, after February 26th, there is a decent chance he will no longer be donning a winged wheel jersey, he is under contract through this year and will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
