HOLY SHIT!!! Fresh off of re-signing Stuart, the Wings signed Marian Hossa to a one year, $7.4 million dollar deal. On every list, Hossa was either the number one or number two pick of the free agency period and NO ONE ever thought that Detroit had a chance to get him--but he is in Hockeytown! This is the second player Detroit stole from the Penguins. With Pittsburgh hemmoraging players like they are, it will be interesting to see if they even make the playoffs next year. Hmmmm. Already Wing fans are screaming "REPEAT!!" While I am thrilled with the looks of the team for the upcoming season, I hesitate to count my chickens. But, things are looking good.
During Holland's press conference about the Hossa signing, he mentioned they are still in talks with Baby Boy--as well as other players--and should have a deal worked out soon. Damn, but I wish they would do it already. I'm planning on going to the Joe this next season and Baby Boy HAS to be playing!

Didn't See This One Coming
