Rangers send Marian Hossa, $5.3m (2017-2018)Red Wings sendBobby Butler, $0.2m (2013-2014)Erik Gustafsson, $0.2m (2013-2014)Rangers need to do this to clear some cap and I need D.
The Wings confirm this deal. I think Gustafsson is a great young D-man who still has a ton of upside, but NY approached us with this deal, and though Hossa is getting older and has a injury history, he is still a good player on a great Chicago team.
I'll have to consider this after I see make other cap clearing moves. Tubbs, see what you can clear with a extensions before dealing Hossa. As it stands, the team doesn't appear to have many assets.
Like I said below. I do this move notwithstanding cap issues. I don't like Hossa. I think he is old and injury prone. I need to rebuild and getting rid of his contract is a first step in doing that.
