Not that hard to let him go when Max Talbot scored more goals in the finals than Hossa did.

Re: Hossa to DET
Can't the original poster just change the name once he gets signed elsewhere? Keep the dream alive?

It's believed the deal-breaker was the average salary which fell between $3.75 million and $4 million.

Re: Hossa to DET
That's got to be pretty insulting to Hossa. I don't know if that was the intent from Detroit, probably not, but it's deserved. You sit in the passenger seat when your team is trying to win the Cup? Don't expect them to bend over backwards to fit you in. I can't wait to see where he signs tomorrow. I feel bad for whatever team chooses to sign this loser. Unless it's a team like the Rangers or Canadians. They deserve it.

Re: Hossa to DET
The Rangers don't know how to be conservative, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that Gomez money go to Hossa. And probably a few million more just for the sake of stupidity. But that cap space has been there for almost 12 hours and Lowe hasn't spent it yet, so he's at least showing some restraint.

Re: Hossa to DET
This is the salary cap world. They can't afford him unless they make some significant moves.
The people that hate the cap because the Pens can't sign everyone should be happy the cap exists, because pre cap, the Wings would not only have all of their main pieces, but would have kept Hossa long term, and probably would have added a few more top UFAs.

What about Racchi to DET?
Is that possible?

If his rug goes, then the universe would end.

Re: Hossa to DET
I would assume the Rug would go, too. It would be an act of kindness, really, because Racchi's Rug is just a tag-along to HOssa to DET's rocket ride to stardom.newarenanow wrote:Would it only be Racchi, or Racchi and his rug too?Eismann wrote:What about Racchi to DET?

Re: Hossa to DET
Admin should make any posters who reaches 100,000 posts be known as "Racchi's Rug" instead of "NHL Hall of Famer" and when you hit 500,000, the description is "Hossa to DET".

Re: Hossa to DET
Haha, I cannot wait until Hossa signs this year to see what happens.
Rename this thread or start a new one? Will the new one get to the current 92 pages of this one?
Someone start a twitter account for Hossa that details everywhere he goes by saying "Hossa to bathroom," "Hossa to dinner," "Hossa to bed"

Yeah, I saw a thread on their board that started the hate already if he went to Chicago. The people that were wishing him luck have basically said all bets are off if he becomes a Hawk.pens8771 wrote:detroit fans would hateeeeeeeeee him if he went to chi townnewarenanow wrote:Hossa to Chicago is the current rumor.

They already hate him, not sure if they could hate him any more unless he scores an OT series clinching goal to knock the Wings out next year.pens8771 wrote:detroit fans would hateeeeeeeeee him if he went to chi townnewarenanow wrote:Hossa to Chicago is the current rumor.

So the salary cap doesn't apply to Chicago or do they plan to dump Toews and Kane next year?newarenanow wrote:Hossa to Chicago is the current rumor.

Re: Hossa to DET
I think they could be in the situation the Pens could have been in if they signed him last year. Just have a top 3 heavy hit on the cap, have one or two higher salaries, and a bunch of crap.Corvidae wrote:So the salary cap doesn't apply to Chicago or do they plan to dump Toews and Kane next year?newarenanow wrote:Hossa to Chicago is the current rumor.
The Pens offerred, knowing Malkin and Crosby would be making $8.7MM apiece. And I don't think Toews and Kane will make that amount.
So I see it as something they can do. Their depth won't be great, but it is possible.

But they also have Campbell and Huet at insane deals.
Malkin, Crosby, Hossa, Fleury, Garbage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Toews, Kane, Hossa, Huet, Campbell, Garbage
It would be a disaster.
