At least when Turek was done, he knew it and took a paycut (Even though they aren't allowed anymore).

Just because we haven't seen him play doesn't mean he hasn't been terrible. I don't care if Stockton is the worst team in the history of the planet (spoiler alert - they aren't) - he's got an 864 save percentage. There is 49 qualifying goalies in the AHL and Gillies is 014 behind the the 45th rank guy in save percentage.
As for trading a 1st for Howard - why? You've got a starter. Trade a bag of pucks for someone like Andrew Hammond or Scott Wedgewood and you're ahead.
