Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: (mailbag) Goaltender Jimmy Howard is entering the final season of his deal. If the Red Wings get a decent offer for him at the trade deadline they could move him.
The Wings signed Jonathan Bernier for three years at $3 million per, and with no other goalie ready to back up, they could look bring Howard back on a two-year at a lower cap hit.
There is still some concern over Henrik Zetterberg‘s back and if he’ll be able to play this season.
