Thrashers Still Targeting Hossa

from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
Thrashers general manager and head coach Don Waddell originally targeted the All-Star break as a point by which he wanted to get a contract extension done with Hossa. But Hossa’s agent, Ritch Winter, who said he won’t be in town for the game, is guiding the Thrashers through a process in which there hasn’t been negotiations of money or terms.
The Thrashers’ only offer, a four-year deal worth $28 million, came before Hossa hired Winter.
Waddell said another offer will come, just not yet. And he’s bumped back that goal of getting Hossa signed by the All-Star game, pointing instead to a stretch of home games after the break.
The Thrashers play six of their next seven games at home, and Waddell hopes a successful run might convince Hossa to stay.
