Proposal: Isaac Howard to MON

Sheary's cap hit is basically buried and comes off the books next year anyway. No reason to package with Howard. I think a lot of teams are beating this offer in TB's eyes by dangling a decent defensive prospect.
Teams might make a decent offer (better than the second round compensation) if they get to talk to Howard and he agrees to sign before the trade. Otherwise it’s too much of a risk to offer more than the compensation. Howard is one season from picking his nhl team. That has to be a concern to any club.
 
A draft pick would be fine for Howard. Do we want to win now? Yes, but a 1st rounder is a liquid asset that could be flipped for something else.
 
Saw a "player profile" type bit on Howard and he listed his favorite team growing up at Minnesota, also reportedly wants to play closer to home. I feel he is shooting for the Wild by not signing with Tampa.
