Thunderpriest 8 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 According to the Pens board, there are four teams with offers for Hossa, and they're stating that Hossa prefers Detroit, but that Detroit is offering the least $$$$. I can't really see this happening, but I'd laugh hysterically if it did. People on the Pens board are fuming at the thought of Hossa coming here for less money. They're losing everyone off of their roster as it is........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Hossa for $5 million per. Get it done, Kenny! Seriously though, if there's any team that its known you take a paycut to play for, its Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legendary D In 03 50 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 I'd actually crap my pants if Hossa signed here. I'd literally crap my pants. Even if I wasn't excited enough to do this as a gut reaction, I'd squeeze one out just to live up to my promise. Marian -- are you listening? There are Red Wings fans who are willing to soil themselves on purpose to see you in the red and white. (that should do the trick.) Word, LDi03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 It'd be a surprise. I don't think ANYONE here has thought Hossa would come here since maybe the day after we won the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 With Stu at $3.75M/yr there's no way we sign Hossa unless Kenny makes a major move. Unless Marian takes the mother of all "I want to win" discounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 There is no way with the Stuart signing we get Hossa... unless Holland starts dismantling this team, and I highly doubt he does so. Filppula gone this year, Franzen gone next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Just taking into account this coming year, how much cap room do we have? Word, LDi03 We've got about $10-12M left for this coming season. With Fil, Ericsson, Jimmy, and a few minor spots left to fill. Absorbing Hossa long-term would be very easy for this year. Next year would be problematic.

Absorbing Hossa long-term would be very easy for this year. Next year would be problematic. Not because I'm too lazy to do this, but because I know you will be able to give me an answer quickly: How problematic? Is it doable? Or is this a complete pipe dream? Because for Hossa, I'd obviously not mind losing one of Fil, Huds, or Franzen to make room. Hell, maybe two of the three, to be honest, if we could get nice picks in return.
