The Hawks' new $63 million man will have surgery today to repair a small tear in his right rotator cuff. It's expected to take Hossa 4 months to heal and rehab from the injury, meaning that when the Blackhawks take the ice this fall he'll be in street clothes and likely to miss the first two months of the season. Wasn't health one of the primary reasons the team chose to sign Hossa and part ways with Martin Havlat this off season? Of course, the five time all-star did also score 40 goals and have 31 assists of the Red Wings.
It was just days ago that 'Hawks GM Stan Bowman said Hossa's bum shoulder was "relatively minor" and that surgery "would be a last resort." Did the team really know the full extent of the injury before inking Hossa to his monster contract and just didn't want to concern the fans if rehab alone was sufficient treatment, or was the boo boo worse than Hossa and his agent has led on?

What a fucking nightmare. How could they give the guy a 12 year deal when he's hurt? At least give him a 1 year and see how things shake out! FUCK! This is really just unbelievable.
Perhaps this is why Dale Tallon got the boot.
I hope so, just because at least we'd have a valid reason for it.
The 'Hawks clearly knew he was hurt, maybe not the full extent of his injury, but they knew. It really boggles the mind how they can sign him to a contract that is too long, too expensive and top it off by having him out for the beginning of the season.
I'm starting to hope Havlat wins the Hart Trophy with the Wild.
lol
Ben Wallace, now Marian Hossa.
