No, as he won't be playing in Detroit this year. People will forget about the guy and the price will more than likely bottom out by mid year. Even if Hasek goes down to injury they want Howard to stay the whole year in Grand Rapids.
really hard to say at this point but the wings are pretty high on him and considering they have not gone all in and got a younger stud goalie i have a feeling they will be going with howard in a year or two...right now id say not a steal but if he starts for detroit in the near future then you got yourself a steal. jason
