I posted this in the goalie market thread 3 mins before you published this article lol:

I listen to a lot of wings radio since I'm in the area. They constantly talk about trading Howard, with Calgary as the most mentioned destination.
The most realistic trade I've heard them propose was Howard+1 of Jurco/Sheahan for Wideman and a mid round pick.

They admit both have little to negative value. They think since Howard is still a useful NHL player that makes up for his extra term. Sheahan/Jurco they think would be worth a 2nd/3rd alone so swapping one for a Flames 5th gives CGY extra incentive. They were even willing to eat 250-500k in year 2/3 due to SM/JG/SB contracts.
I was blown away by how in tuned to the Flames they were as Americans. Another DET station also wanted Wideman but were willing to give up a bunch of assets lol.
