I'll Take Hossa for 12 Please!

Interesting news again from the NHL Free Agent frontlines. It appears that Marian Hossa has agreed to a deal with the Chicago Blackhawks for get this...12 years! The deal for a reported $62.4 million wouldn't be a huge amount broken out for that long. We wonder exactly what the thought was here?

The Chicago Tribune reports here and the Detroit Free-Press chimes in here .


This should make things interesting in the Western Division, where Detroit and Chicago duked it out for the oppourtunity to lose to Pittsburgh this past season. Hossa, who is now on his 4th team in as many years is a good 2-way player who should help a young Blackhawk bunch that includes Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. It is however curious that someone who has been such a nomad the past few years was willing to commit the rest of his career to one organization. It should be interesting to see how this all plays out.
