First thing in all of this: DO NOT TRADE A 1ST ROUNDER FOR A STOP GAP FIX AT GOALIE

As part of a bigger package filling more than 1 need: sure. In a trade that brings in a long term solution in net with Rittich for the next 5 years: Sure. But under no circumstances should we move a first for a Jimmy Howard type solution.

If the price for Howard ends up being a 2nd rounder then sure look at that, but no way should they move a first for him. I actually think that McElhinney would be my preferred choice if you could get him for say a 3rd rounder.
