Ken Holland talks about signing Marian Hossa

[WEINBAUER]

The best GM in the game.

[TheTigersWingsFan]

he burps like 50 times in this video

[fastandfurioustokyo]

this is a good deal from starbucks. its called the hossa. it comes with a 7.45 million cookie and comes without the cup.

[dagongshow]

Salary cap? HAHAHA, who cares? Caps don't work very well to create parity if every player in the league is willing to take pay cuts just so they can play for the wings. Might just as well start getting in touch with Marian Gaborik right now and have him ready to jump aboard at the trade deadline.

[joctheviperp]

The best just got better.

GO WINGS '09!

[Spitfire18AB]

this guy in nhl09 called me a pussy for using the redwings before the game started.. so so scored with zetterberg first shot and i somehow lost connection to my opponent... hmm. wonder what happened.

[alexglauer]

That's a typical view of the Red Wings.

[Statts63]

The reason Hossa was only sighed for one year is because Zetterberg , who makes > 3 mil next year will be due to a HUGE raise the following year, as well as Franzen and Hudler as a RFA. To make it work under the cap (+ or - Hudler) IMO will be tough, but in Holland we trust.

[GMoney200]

Even last year Detriot was a tough, team I think they will be a more tougher team then last year I think they should signed hossa to a 2 yr deal Or they should've signed him to a 3 yr deal maybe when this season ends Detriot could sign him to a Long term deal man I can't wait to see this guy In redwing UNIFORM REDWINGS are they, team to beat this season hands down if you put Pavel and Zetterberg & Hossa In the same line dosen't get better then that.

[Dremooa]

Ken Holland is not only the best gm in hockey, but in all of pro sports.

[ipoddunk]

Red Wings are one of the best teams, and the Penguins are nothing but douchebags and bandwagoners!

[popradcan]

Detroit is like Manchester United in Europe,huge fan base around the world..man....The best team,best organization,i've never liked Wings,i'm Hawks fan,but man,this team is gonna be fricking tough to play against..

Let's go BLACKHAWKS!!!

[ZoSo6880]

I'm a Wings fan, but I think your Hawks are looking pretty strong this year.

[Dremooa]

Actually, you got a good looking team as well, Hawks will do well this year, Wings will win the presidents again, but Hawks are looking very good going into the next few years.

[aruther19]

Kane and Toews have given you guys a bright future... and your dark horse in Dustin Byfuglien : )

[RyanSull19]

Ken Holland is a genius, Anyone that knocks Hossa for choosing to win over money is a complete joke and are just bitter Pens fans cuz there team got worse this offseason losing Hossa, Conklin, Malone, Ruutu, Roberts, and Hall. Have fun with Fedostinko and over the hill Satan AHAHA!!

[jboidaman99]

Yeah Ken Holland is simply amazing

go wings

[crazypaul124]

hey if u can't beat then join go red wings

[hosssssa]

Marian and not Marion!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michlimania]

REPEAT is a no-brainer.

[triplexxxsatyr]

It took some time but finally the right front office personnel are in place for the Wings. Signing Hossa is a coup considering the numerous offers laid out for him but in the end, it really is ALL ABOUT THE CUP.

[PunkZone9]

tell marian hossa sucks tell him every one in pittsburgh hates him i have a people for honk if hossa is a jag off and lots of people honk he is the biggest jag off

[mckling]

He said he wants to find a team that can win a cup. No wonder he left the Pens to go to the Wings...

[boudrozoltar]

I am getting sick of low class Pensyvania BS spouting off.

simple math. Pens - Hossa in 2008 playoff = probably not making the finals. If they did make the finals, Pittsburgh would have been swept and probably shut out. He was Pittsburgh's best player. Far better than Malkin, and a little better than Crosby and Staal.

[PunkZone9]

ow so im low class go burn in hell with marian hossa

[boudrozoltar]

Hossa is not burning in hell you inbread dirtbag. You are still low class, even by Pittsburgh standards.

But thanks for clearifying, I really feel silly now

[Ajs3371]

He was with your team for 3 months. It's not like he's been on the Pens for 8 years.

[wingsfan04]

AWESOME! holland u are the man. and i dare anyone to come up with a better front office than the wings. mike I. you are the best owner in pro sports today and from every wing nut from around the world a GREAT BIG THANKS>

[hosssssa]

Hossa wants to be a Red Wing...

[miguelisms]

I heard he uses the force to sign players. :D

[seanpatrickfolster]

beet pitts burg in the finals and raped them on the open market too. yeeesh.

[kafirpigdog]

GO WINGS!!!

Hossa was great in the finals, what a pick up!!

[alexholowczak]

The problem comes next year then when the Wings will have Hossa, Zetterberg and Franzen all at the end of their contracts. Can't keep all of them, it seems.

[Cromulus420]

There will be time to worry about that later.

[venzetti8]

Ya, we'll have to see how Franzen Does next year.

[animeguy95]

yeah though Franzen is good ill take Zetterberg and Hossa!.

[Datsyuk1340]

the reason they signed hossa to a one year deal was because they wanted to have more cap room to sign franzen and zetterberg

[Ajs3371]

Let Franzen go, and resign Hank and hossa.

[Foltz13]

ur not a wings fan if u would wanna let franzen go. he has the ability to score 40 goals in a season and he led the team in goals in the playoffs while MISSING 6 GAMES!!! THE MULE IS THE SHIT and i sure as hell hope he never leaves detroit

[Ajs3371]

Well, unless Franzen matches or beats Hossa this year in performance (unlikely) it'd be a pretty dumb move to pick franzen over Hossa. I absolutely love Franzen and it'd suck to have to let him go, but if it comes down to it next year I'd take Hossa

[Foltz13]

well lets hope they can keep them both

[RyanSull19]

Umm you're an idiot thats the stupidest comment ever made. Franzen is not someone you let go loser, are you a Pens fan faggot

[Ajs3371]

But Hossa is someone you let go? If you had a choice between two players, those two players being Hossa and Franzen, and you pick Franzen, you don't want to win. Franzen is great, but isn't as good as Hossa (but maybe he will do better, in that case keep in, but this probably won't happen). I live in Detroit, and I've been a wings fan since I was born. Hossa isn't even a real penguin you fucktard, he was traded. I think you mean to call me an Atlanta fan. How would it make me a pitts fan anyway.

[OhEmetophobiaMusic]

they offered him a long term deal for less money and Hossa's agent came back and asked about a 1 year deal.

[Datsyuk1340]

i thought they only have a 1 year deal so they could re-sign zetterberg and franzen.

[wingsfan1319]

they did

[venzetti8]

The only thing that could save us is when the Salary CAP goes up again. If the salary cap Continues the way it has, Wings are just going to sign Top players year after year. Beauty of Salary cap increase

[Foltz13]

Ken Holland is my hero

[Red40Wings13]

Your the man Ken. Thanks again Mr. I

[corpsegrinderdave222]

Fuck yeah ken

[Crymson1]

Go Kenny!
