Wings general manager Ken Holland said Marian Hossa did not injure his shoulder during the playoffs as indicated in a story in the Chicago Daily Herald. Holland said Hossa had a slightly torn rotator cuff when the Wings signed him on July 2, 2008, but it wasn’t anything significant.
“He was hurt before he got to us,’’ Holland said. “Our doctors looked at him and we had conversations about whether to have surgery. Our doctors recommended he should have something done at some point but it’s something he can play with.’’

Why do players who have a known condition, one that needs to be fixed by surgery, wait until just before the new season begins to do something about it? If Hossa had had the surgery right after the playoffs, he’d have been able to play most of the upcoming season. Crazy.

It might have something to do with the fact that he had a 12 year contract on the line. No way he gets that contract if he had surgery this summer.
