Stars just signed Sean Avery. Don't know much about him except he seems like the biggest bag on earth. Is he any good?

Less than a month after being bouned from the Stanley Cup Final, Marian Hossa has decided to join the Detroit Red Wings.
Sources tell TSN that free agent Hossa has signed a one-year, $7.4 million deal with the Red Wings.
The $7.4 million that Hossa will earn next season, is the most Detroit would pay anyone - even an unrestricted free agent. The Red Wings were insistent that no one earn more money than six-time Norris Trophy winner Nicklas Lidstrom.
The 6-foot-1 winger scored 29 goals and 66 points in 72 games split between the Atlanta Thrahsers and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Hossa, 29, was acquired from the Thrashers at the trade deadline and helped Pittsburgh in its march to the Stanley Cups Finals. With 12 goals and 14 assists in 20 games, the 2008 playoffs went a long way to helping Hossa shed his reputation as a player that shone in the regular season, but struggled when it really mattered.
Originally a first-round draft pick by the Ottawa Senators in 1997, Hossa has been named to five NHL all-star teams and has recorded 299 goals and 648 points in 701 career games. Hossa was shipped to Atlanta as part of the Dany Heatley trade in 2005.
Red Wings will repeat in 2009
Book it

He is a bit like Bowen
You hate him if he;s on the other team, but you would like to have on your team.
An agitator, but an excellent hockey player as well.
Very smart, as they had to invent a new rule because of him during the 2008 playoffs
Good signing by Dallas
Zetterberg/Homer;Franzen/Datsyuk
Hossa/Homer;Franzen/Fillpula
Talk about domination. The 2nd line would start for most teams in the league.
Im not a big hockey fan...i know the names....i started watching the Blues this year. My favorite players are Brad Boyes, Ovechkin, Crosby, and Jerome Iginla....but yea from what I do know about hockey...thats a of a pickup.
Why I follow the Rangers I don't know, but this thread is great to talk some off season hockey for those that like it.
Man, Iginla is an awesome player
How in the did I miss this thread?!
Oh yeah, I was up north that weekend and when I came home my PC was ed.
Im big geeked about the signing, no question. But after Filppula was qualified for the the dollar amount he was ($3 million), there is no chance Hossa resigns with the Wings after this year, not with Zetterberg and Franzen needing new deals after 08-09.
Oh well, at least that drama is over and done with before it even starts. But who knows, Ken Holland has pulled miracles before...
(although I dont think even God could get Hossa under a cap and still keep Z and Mule)
Any word on Sundin for your Habs, lefty?
I was wondering the same thing
Yes : Sundin
