When Howard is healthy and playing near his best, there are only a handful of goaltenders better than him in the NHL. The problem is that he has dealt with a lot of injury problems, and he cannot seem to find any form of consistency.

This Darcy Kuemper-Minnesota Wild situation doesn’t sound good | ProHockeyTalk
Is it just me or is the KHL card being played more often by players now-a-days? The Wild already have three goaltenders, including Kuemper, and Ilya Bryzgalov is apparently really eager about returning to Minnesota. Someone is going to have to be moved, and/or, demoted to the AHL eventually.
