Don't think the kings are willing to take him on for this season and 2 more afterwards even @ 50% (~2.65M) given their current can situation. Someone would need to be traded just to make this work once Quick comes back in the new year. Doesn't make sense.
howard for greene
LA then leaves howard unprotected and he either gets picked up by LA, they trade him or they buy him out
either way at 3 million or less(whats the difference between greene and howard??) howard is at least a proven reliable #1 goalie

yeah.. even Pavelec would be a better option than Howard at this point...
when Quick comes back in December, that gives LA 11M worth of salary for the next 2.5 years... not worth it

Nah, the term kills it. Just out of curiosity, if Howard is a proven and reliable #1 goalie, why move him?

Don't know where any decent Goalie will be just as much, How many Goalies out there at the same level as a JQ would have more manageable contract not to many. MAF nope Lehtonen nope Niemi nope Halak nope. Just go with what LA has now it's hopeless any ways.
they likely will be
he will be left unprotected
they will try and trade him
they will likely buy him out if top 2 dont work out

I'm sure you would, But Detroit has no use for 6 years of Brown who's trending down majorly no thanks.

Because Mrazek is clearly our #1 now Holland just made that major mistake giving Howard 2 more years then he should've knowing full well that Mrazek would be up much sooner rather then later.

Most journeyman back ups will give you the same consistency as Howard and they are usually signed for $1.5M or less on 1 or 2 year deals

The Wings would retain.. You think? Howard isn't going anywhere. Las Vegas will have better options at the expansion draft and no team unless you retained about 75% would take a chance on him. He should've been bought out.

Here is my proposal:
To Kings:
Howard (no retention)
To Wings:
Brown (no retention)+2nd round pick+Mersch
Kings get shorter term in Howard, Wings get a bottom six physical winger for about the same cap hit in Brown, but for longer term, they get a solid prospect and 2nd rounder.

You would consider? Detroit wouldn't consider that at all.
Wings don't have a use for bottom six players. We already have a plethora of them and adding 6 years of a winger on the decline is going to cost more than a 2nd rounder.

Same can be said when this thread was made. We have a one of the worst contract to counter any silly proposals.

same thing can be said about Howard and the Kings
I totally agree However if you can get out of browns contract (or gaborik for that matter) I'm interested
