And he takes less money to go to Detroit.

Of course, this thread should be moved to the sports forum in due course.

Wings might be about done spending money now on any new players. This deal was sure under the trade-rumors radar. I like this a lot better than Sundin in red and white. We beat Pittsburgh and buy their goalie and a forward.

No, a one year deal is perfect... we have too many key guys to re-sign next year.

... and if he decides to re-sign for less next year, and we have the extra money, cool... if not, we'll still have another cup at that point! :-)

Much better trade than Bertuzzi or Sundin! Sundin 8 years ago would have been stellar. Not so much now.

I called it from the start! What a great addition to add some scoring depth! I dont think Franzen is really going to perform as he did in the last two months of this season, but this move is the perfect way to add depth!

I've already got Hossa penciled in for 40 goals next season. The guy is a true sniper and with the talent that will be surrounding him, lookout.

I like Crow's thinking on this. There's no such thing as too much depth. Just ask the Tigs.

So much for Pittsburgh being Hockeytown. Hossa voted with his feet.
