If montreal offers higgins, there is 0 chance we get Hossa. :unsure:

I don't think this has been posted.

The Marian Hossa Sweepstakes are on hold – for now.

Amid published reports out of Montreal, that the Canadiens have ordered equipment for Hossa in the event they secure his rights, and out of Ottawa, where the Senators are apparently in a holding pattern on Hossa, the focus in Atlanta today is strictly on the Thrashers' game tonight against Carolina.

Sources say Atlanta GM-head coach Don Waddell is in full coach mode today and won't be working the phones or advancing any trade talk for the talented winger who is likely to be dealt before Tuesday's NHL trade deadline.

But sources also told TSN that before Waddell resumes trade talk on Hossa, he wants to take one final stab at seeing if he can sign the winger to a contract extension. That effort, the source said, would likely take place on Friday. If it's unsuccessful, and Hossa himself has been quoted as saying it's a longshot he would re-sign in Atlanta before July 1, then Waddell will attempt to close a deal for Hossa this weekend.

Teams reportedly interested in Hossa include Montreal, Ottawa, New Jersey, Detroit and San Jose, amongst others.

If that is the case I'm all for Mr. Illitch giving Holland the boot and bringing in Mr. Dombrowski, at least we know Mr. Dombrowski has the cojones to make big moves.

Anyone feel to do a quick summary of what has been discussed in this thread? 41 pages of Hossa trade speculations seems a bit too much. (?)

Pretty much an epic debate as to whether or not the Wings can afford to keep Hossa long term if they trade for him, and whether or not Filpulla is worth risking a trade for somebody who is possibly a rental player.

So yeah 41 pages of speculation

Flip for a rental player! No way! Hossa won't be a rental! Numbers, Future Salary Cap. Facebook.
