The Chicago Blackhawks have signed Marian Hossa to a 12 year - $62.8 Million contract.
Hossa adds another weapon to an emerging, explosive Blackhawks team. Already loaded with top-end talent in Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, Hossa brings a more consistent offensive presence then the departing Martin Havlat. Add Hossa to a healthy Patrick Sharp and emerging forwards Kris Versteeg and Dave Bolland and you have one of the most lethal top 6's in the game. How Dave Tallon manages the cap when Toews and Kane get their big raises next season is another story.
Fantasy Outlook: Hossa is coming from one of the most talented top 6-s in Detroit so don't expect much of a jump in points. His presence will act mainly to give Toews and Kane more space. That said, he should line up with at least one, if not both of them, and finish at a point-per-game. Draft him in rounds 2-4 in standard and keeper formats.
Fearless Forecast: 76GP, 39G, 38A, 77 P
