Chiarelli:"Take Off, Eh Hossa!" — Stanley Cup of Chowder
Marian Hossa chose Hockeytown over The Hub of Hockey. I for one am glad that the B's didn't throw a ton of cash at Hossa. They would not have been able to get him for $7.4 M like Detroit did. They probably would have had to offer him $9 M plus for him to even consider coming here. A contract like that would have pushed the Bruins over the salary cap and forced them to dismantle half their ...

So yeah…Marian Hossa. Marian FREAKING Hossa! — Gorilla Crouch
Being wrong never felt so very, very right. I’ve written a couple times in a couple different contexts that it was nothing more than a pipe dream to suggest the Red Wings could sign Marian Hossa. The first was at the trade deadline this past winter.
If I’m close in my calculations that would put Detroit right around $44.2 million in salary and would give them 12 forwards, 7 ...
Wings stun fans with Hossa signing — Behind the Jersey
If you haven’t realized it by now, GM Ken Holland is a pretty smart guy. But Wings fans really need to thank Marian Hossa himself for this crazy exciting signing. Holland had offered Hossa a four-year deal but at a lower salary than some of the other offers Hossa had received. In fact, it was Hossa’s agent who called Holland this morning about a one-year contract.

The Hat on Hossa — On the Wings
Eric Duhatschek has a good piece on the Marian Hossa signing. One particularly interesting bit:
The risk for Hossa, who has been a remarkably durable player over the years, is that his good health continues. Hossa had major knee surgery in his final year of junior, but has been a picture of health ever since — missing just 22 games in eight years, 10 of them last year, split between the ...

Wings sign Hossa to one-year deal — Behind the Jersey
HOSSA!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to go back to work, but I had to quickly post to BTJ that the Wings have reportedly signed Marian Hossa to a one-year contract worth $7.4 million.

Why?
1) Hossa signed only a one-year contract.
2) The contract wasn’t ridiculously huge. It’s only $7.4 million. You’d think for one-year, he’d ask for something ...
Hossa, Now With More Traitor In Him! — Scarlett Ice
The Marian Hossa sweepstakes have ended with the Detroit Red Wings signing Hossa to a one-year, $7.4 million contract . This is of course less than a month after the Red Wings dumped the Pittsburgh Penguins from the Stanley Cup Finals. What's interesting to me is the fact that this is only a one-year contract.
