Hossa was pretty much the guy that saved the regular season. His offense kept the Wings from badly treading water a couple times.
But he was mostly invisible in the playoffs, especially when Datsyuk was out and he got more defensive attention. He didn't play badly, but I don't think the Wings will be hurting terribly that he went somewhere else.
Hell, Chicago might just be ecstatic that they've just guaranteed they'll lose in the Stanley Cup Final...

With over half the teams making the playoffs in each conference, the players need to make their money in the playoffs. Hossa didn't do that. I'm not really disappointed that he is gone but going to Chicago could hurt. The Wings will be fine.
I agree with chemi. From what I saw, he skated around the offensive zone often turning the puck over after holding onto it for so long. Just take a shot every once in a while would have been nice.All emotions can be traced back to two basic ones........love and fear.

I don't necessarily like losing Hossa, but it should help in the long run. Tough to wrap up that much money in a guy who is known for underachieving in the playoffs. Wings need improvement on defense. I thought he may stay since his stated goal is the Stanley Cup, but I think he is most concerned with money. Chicago just did to Wings what the Wings did to Pittsburgh last year. I hope the results are similar.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.
