Breaking News: The Chicago Blackhawks continue to make a splash in free agency by signing Marian Hossa to a 12yr deal worth about 62.4 million.
Hossa had 40 goals and 31 assists last year with the Red Wings, although he didn’t play very well during the playoffs (15 points total over 23 games). Hopefully this means Havlat will be bye-bye since they probably won’t have cap room to keep him.
So I have just confirmed reports that Ben Gordon is on his way to Detroit to meet with management, where hopefully (::fingerscrossed::) he will be traded. Since Gordon was considered as somewhat productive last season, hopefully we can shop him around and get something good, but if Detroit offers us something worthwhile I think it would be worth it to get rid of him here and now, considering free agency opens today.
On a personal note, I can’t WAIT for the Bulls to trade Ben Gordon. I think he’s a selfish player who holds on to the ball much too long and takes low probability shots consistently. He does give you game winning potential, but I think that potential is outweighed by how much he hurts you by throwing up bricks consistently.
Thanks to 670 The Score Chicago for breaking the story.
