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. |

only a 1 year deal though. That kind of sucks. |

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. |
