Jonathan Bernier to push Jimmy Howard for Red Wings' starting goalie job | MLive.com
Bernier is saying all the right things about his new contract. It's interesting that Ansar didn't get any quotes from Howard on the concept of being pushed for the starter's spot, but I'm sure he'll get asked that question at some point this summer. Ansar also mentions that if Howard plays well, he'll likely get offered an extension by Detroit. Personally I'd prefer he plays well enough to get traded.

Just as a fun mental exercise, I want you to take these quotes from Ken Holland and attribute them to a new general manager who hasn't been crushing your ability to believe these words for years just to see how it feels:
“We are trying to transition from older people to younger people,” general manager [name redacted] said Sunday afternoon.
