votrechien Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hmmm. Both him and Luongo getting paid the same, almost identical playoff stats: Howard SV% .915 GAA 2.63 SV% .916 GAA 2.53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Took them a while to finally make it official. I think he's getting paid too much, but it's better than trying to find someone else. Solidifies their goaltending while they still have their vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dildo_baggins Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 5.3 cap hit for a six-year deal is not equal to a 5.3 cap hit for a 12-year deal. Big difference, I would say. And if that number is right, it suggests the goalie market has dropped, which isn't good for Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I personally think he's getting paid too much. He's thriving under the a Detroit system, which a lot of goalies can look good under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 "On Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings announced theyre-signed G Jimmy Howard to a six-year deal, one that will keep Howard in the WINDY CITY until 2019" Thats funny. I was unaware Detroit was located in Chicago. The Detroit red wings of Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Updated the OP as it does appear it's a 6 year, $31.8M deal. $5.3M cap hit as rumoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dildo_baggins Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If Luongo retires before his contract ends, we're going to be hit with the 'Luongo Rule' clause from the new CBA. We'd be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good signing for DET. He's underrated IMO, a real workhorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
