So did the Hawks really sign Hossa for 12 years??? In short yes, but was that really neccesary? I know that he will likely not play for 12 more years and it was probably just a formality to be able to offer him the kind of money that was needed to lure him away from Detriot but really? Do not get me wrong, I am exstatic we got a guarenteed 40 goal scorer but wow... Reguardless, the Hawks are going to DOMINATE next season!
