hossa Stories - Second City Hockey
And now the Hawks are a million over the cap with four guys left to sign.
That's all I wanted to say.
In light of today's events, I looked up my old post: Can you afford to sign Hossa?
[NOTE: some of the musings are out of date; I am not updating anything other than to throw some highlighting on the Chicago stuff and I am adding one editorial comment in a big blue font; you have been warned] Let's organize this by "contenders, "Stocks rising," "Stocks falling" and...
I think Hossa will want to sign a dirt-cheap contract with the Wings
...but will it be cheap enough to allow the Wings to hold onto Samuelsson, Hudler, Stuart and/or Kronwall? I used the cap generator to see. If Hossa signs for $2MM (extremely unlikely, but possible), if they cut Hudler loose, and trade Stuart, they can squeeze under the cap. Unless the cap goes...
OK, so now it seems likely Hossa will be headed to LA after all...
...but only because that's where the good shrinks are, and he'll be needing years of therapy to recover from Cup-induced PTSD. I actually expect the Wings to sign him now, because for him to leave Detroit after one year, in search of a Cup on yet another team, would be just lame. I was wondering,...
Ken Campbell: Best the Wings will ever be?
The link failed to import for some reason, but this is from Ken Campbell's blog at The Hockey News: Ask Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland about it and you get a terse, "I’m not going there." Ask Red Wings veteran Kris Draper and you get the death stare.(Trust me, I got it when I asked him about...
Kings Cap Issues, 2009-2010 [UPDATE]
Next year, the Kopitar and Greene contracts kick in; Williams' cap hit is a bit higher than O'Sullivan's this season; we will likely sign JJ for around $3MM $2.5MM $2.25MM (I'm going for O'Sullivan-ish numbers, with a little discount because Johnson hasn't quite achieved at even POS's level yet -...

Crackpot Roster Musings: Kings 09-10
Assumptions: Kings sign one of Hossa, Gaborik or Havlat. Kings keep the number five pick and select MSP, Kane or Duchene, whoever is left. FORWARDS: If Hossa or Havlat: Frolov/Kopitar/Hossa-Havlat Williams/Stoll/Brown [North American drive-to-the-net ass-kicking, hits and...
Around The Habs: I wanted you to trade for a big-ass scorer and you didn't do it and I was mad but now I am glad
Anyway, people started hasseling [Gainey] for not landing Hossa. After looking at what the Pens gve away for him, I knew it was good for him not to. Take a look at the Pens now, they lost Armstrong, Christensen and Esposito and a draft pick for Hossa and Dupuis. Good thing Bob didn't pull the...
Incompetent B.S. from the Edmonton Journal on the Topic of Hossa, Franzen and the cap
It’s no surprise that Johan Franzen is getting an 11-year, $43-million contract that runs until 2021 to spread out the cap hit ($1 million the final two, years when he’ll be 38 and 39 years old). Uh no, the cap hit is the same every year, dumba**. [UPDATE: oh, I see. The parenthetical...
