I'll be surprised if they let anyone come within 3 goals in a game next year.Sam's Drunk Dog wrote:I don't know if that is possible with Hossa on that team now. They may set a record for wins in a season, and then not lose a playoff game.NYPensFan wrote:Now the Pens have an incentive to beat Detroit next year in the cup finals! Wouldn't that be sweet?

He said he'd take less money to play for a winner, and never mentioned length. He said exactly what he was going to do.'Guins Win! wrote:For someone who claimed they wanted a long term deal, more money, and to win, Hossa chose the deal that only gave him ONE of his 3 issues.
I'm SO SO SO SO dissapointed in Hossa.
Sign me up to BOO him loudly.
I don't want to hear about a chance to win. PIT was on the verge of winning too. PIT gave him all 3 of his issues and he chose DET.
Have fun Marion because Osgood isn't going to get it done this year.

Does anyone start to question, maybe if Therrien was not here he would have resigned? We are losing just about everyone after being so close to a championship. He stayed true to his word and signed with a contender and didn't take one of those huge offers some other teams we're supposedly offering. The Pens may have even offered more and longer term. If that is any kind of tiebreaker, I would certainly rather play for Babcock than Therrien. We'll see what happens when the dust settles and whether anyone else comes back or comes here, but if we lose out even if we are close, you can't help, but wonder.

Really? Sure he's taking a risk of getting injured or not performing well. But if he puts up good numbers, which shouldn't be a problem with the Wings, he has a chance at a cup and a huge contract next year. I don't think he's necessirily giving up one thing for the other...maybe for one year.canaan wrote:/agree. this is so annoying. people are mad that he's not in pittsburgh, i get that. but he's proving that he wants to win instead of taking a payday. while im not a fan of his decision, i understand why he did it.newarenanow wrote:How is it greedy?

TRAITOR!!!
But really, $7.4 million???
For ONE year???
You mean to tell me Shero couldn't have matched THAT?? Even gone above it??
But hey, you add the best forward in FA to a team that good, they're a lock to win the Cup. Heck, they might sweep the playoffs, after winning 70 games in the regular season.
If I don't learn that Shero at least offered to match that, I'm going to be calling for his head.
