Not just because I am a Pens fan, but who else thinks this guy is a total douche bag that is getting traded year after year trying to get on a Stanley Cup winning team? Nothing like getting on your knees and making a complete idiot of yourself...
He's been traded twice, neither of which was due to anything that he'd done. One was the deal that brought Heatley to Ottawa, the other was the "Let's get something for you before you become a UFA" to Pittsburgh.

You forget that he asked for a trade... He also begged the Red Wings to take him as he though that was his best chance to win a Stanley Cup. He had a one year deal and done there so why not beg Chicago for an opportunity? He got it and he will be with them for a while. I do have a clue, but Hossa is an idiot. he is right where he needs to be. eventually he will get a cup with the Hawks, but not this year and not in the hear future.
Strap-on, I thought I told you to pay attention to your LeSabres... You take an awful strange liking into the Penguin fanbase... Why is that? Too many home games? Wanna go cry on another thread about it?
He most certainly did not ask for a trade to Pittsburgh, he most certainly did not beg Detroit to take him, and he took a one-year deal because he was anticipating an increase in the salary cap in a weak UFA year that would net him a sizable deal.

You are correct about the trade...
Despite a reported five-year contract offer worth $7 million annually from the Penguins in attempts to retain his services, on July 1, 2008, Hossa signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings worth $7.45 million. Hossa had also reportedly turned down a multi-year offer from the Edmonton Oilers worth at least $9 million per season.[16] Hossa explained that he opted for the shorter-term contract in hopes of a better opportunity to win a Stanley Cup with the Red Wings.
Bad choice of words... I should have said that he skipped town to jump on the bandwagon.
He's just a born loser.
There's no such thing as a born loser, with the possible exception of the largely intoxicated Penguins fanbase that congealed in a gutter sometime in 2005 that collectively curses the name of someone who was there for exactly three months as if he was a corrupt politician.

Again... he is a born loser. What do you consider second place?
Considering that you're the result of first place, I think the world would be better off if your dad's second-place sperm had made it there first.
