crazy13 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Quic...ny-More/1/21437 The Red Wings are completely denying that they are close to a deal with Hossa and it may be sometime before they would admit such a thing. The general consensus among my sources both here in Pittsburgh and elsewhere is that the Wings and Hossa have had something in place for quite some time but of course can't announce it and put themselves in a position of weakness by having to work deals to move players with other teams who know that they have to clear cap space. As one source put it... "It'll probably be announced the week between the draft and the UFA starting (July 1). My bet is that the Wings will be in on draft dealings more than we have ever seen previously. Think about it. They have some extremely valuable signed players that they could move for a top pick. Win/Win for Ken Holland." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Kenny will probably trade the negotiating rights to Hossa for a mid level pick. The Preds got a 1st for the rights to Timonen and Hartnell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Factorial 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, I agree. if we sign him for anything more than 5 million I don't think I will like the deal. There is no way Hossa going to accept 2 to 3 million discounts exactly, it is which necessary to play for Redwings. If trade will not occur to free upward space it gone. About to obtain the first round for it discussing the rights - the absence of putya. What you did cover? Another disappointed command when Hossa will leave town….

LeftWinger 5,131 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 That would be 1 smart move; can't sign Hossa due to the cap - well then who wants him most?...Starting bid will be a 1st rounder in this years draft the ONLY team I trade Hossa's bargainin rights to for a first rounder is the Islanders. Of course the Wings would pass on Tavares and select Hedman anyhow.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherwood40 16 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 I think for the money they would be spending on him, let him go we can use that money maybe to bolster the defense up more or couple really good forwards. Let sammy go, and get couple really good players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 if this Wings organization thinks it can keep Hossa after the s*** he's put in his this playoff season it'll be probably the WORST decision they've made in a LONG time. There is no way this guy deserver 7.4m and there is no way this guy is going to take over this series or anything like that. It's over for him in Detroit. he came here to win a championship and he's playing like a pansy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 145 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 I really don't want Hossa. They need defense and goaltending (since Osgood may retire), and 7.4m can plug a lot of holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hossa!! 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Fortunately it's up to Ken Holland and a few select others. We'll re-sign Hossa, have some cap space, and still have the perfect team for next year. I'm not worried. Edited June 6, 2009 by Hossa!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.OWingsFan 7 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 The Toronto Sun said today a deal IS in place to be signed after the playoffs for 7 years averaging at LESS than $6 million per season. We're probably looking at a $40-45 million deal for 7 years. If we can keep Hossa and Hudler while seeing Sami walk it would be a success I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That leaves only Hudler and Hossa. If Hossa comes in at under $6 million as reported, perhaps not more than $5, its do-able provided Hudler takes a long term deal too.

We've a boatload of youngins ready to step up and the "old" guy Hossa and the 20 something Hudler.
