Red Wings' Howard would be OK with being traded

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard won't lose sleep if he's traded this offseason.

The 32-year-old admitted that he'd be OK with being traded, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, saying he understands it's part of the business.

Howard may also be eyeing a trade as he has seemingly lost the starting job to Petr Mrazek, who started in 16 more games than Howard this season.

Howard is coming off his seventh full-season in the league in which he posted a 2.8 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage, both career-lows.
