Hossa: One Year Wonder?

For those of us (yes..us, meaning “me”) hoping Marian Hossa has every intention of signing a long-term deal for about 6/year, just so he can stay part of the glorious Wing family? Umm.
“I look at it like I’m here for one year,” Hossa said after an informal skate with some of his new teammates. “During the year, we’ll see how the cap room is going to stay or move. Then we’ll talk with the GM (Ken Holland) and see if they like me to stay here or I like to be here, if I’m a good fit in the group. We don’t know yet. We’ll see in the future. It’s tough to say right now.”
Key words: Cap. Room. Stay. Move. Holland. Don’t. Know. Future. Tough.
I just kinda pulled those out. Let’s use them all in a sentence, eh?
Here’s what he meant to say:
“Want me to stay? Holland better get tough and make sure the Cap moves, and I mean moves up. Way up. Know when? In the near future. If not, my pal Kopie can rent that room out starting June 15th. Don’t like it? Tough.”
One more word we might use soon? Mercenary.
Predictions: make ‘em. Real simple.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
