ESPN did a rountable asking a few questions regarding the NHL...

Make a trade for the Hurricanes that gets them in the playoffs this season.

Wyshynski: From a functional standpoint, I'd like to see the Hurricanes make a deal for a goaltender that will stabilize that position, but won't tether them to a netminder in the long term. Which is why Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings would be an interesting option: Entirely average, entirely needing a new challenge and headed to unrestricted free agency next summer.

Recently, Howard's name has appeared in Calgary rumors too among other teams.
