Hossa signs with Detroit

Both ESPN & TSN are reporting Hossa and the Red Wings have agreed on a 1-year deal for $7.4M.

He reportedly turned down both a $9M/year offer from Edmonton as well as a 5-year deal from Pittsburgh for over $35M.

We've certainly improved in the past 24 hours, but this is a solid response by Detroit. This was the last place I would hope he'd end up.
