FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Then Sidney will cry and the NHL will force all other sports leagues (NBA,MLB,NFL) to retire it instead. 87, then we'll sign him longterm and retire his number before the nhl can force us to Gretzky-retire Crosby's 87.

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Correct me if I am wrong, but does his brother, Marcel Hossa, not wear the number 81?.. I believe he does, so I guess its possible that he would wear the same number as his brother. But I also wouldnt be surprised to see him just end up with another number all together..

DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 That name and number with all that Red just looks fantastic! Whatever number he wears, it will be great to see it on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevie for president 42 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 since pi and e were mentioned, why not i? seriously though, wearing 66 or 87 would be priceless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) If I were Maltby, I would lease him #18 for an enormous amount of money for one year, with a long term option. Someone in the NFL did that two or three times, can't remember who it was. Edit: Seriously though, something about Hossa 81 is kinda badass.

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Since 18 is taken by someone with more seniority(Maltby), I can't see Hossa getting his number 18. Maybe the reverse - 81? I say he wears the jersey of a mathematical forumula, like the depth of a triangle...B x W X H *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Though I'd put my money on #81, I'm surprised nobody has said #17 with the high possibility of Drake retiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9-HoweFan 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Maybe he'll keep it in the teens and go with #15. either way WOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 On a serious note, which line will he play on? Not so fond of splitting up ZDH. I'd say second line with Franzen for sure and probably Filppula. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Not so fond of splitting up ZDH. I'd say second line with Franzen for sure and probably Filppula. Yea, that's why I asked ZDH have great chemistry and work perfectly as a line. Holmstrom clears up so much space on the ice, retrieves pucks, and always goes to the net.
