The NHL is investigating the Hossa contract.

I find this to be bull. Here is what they are investigating:

The NHL is investigating whether Marian Hossa’s new 12-year, $62.8-million (all terms US) contract with the Blackhawks circumvents the collective bargaining agreement and the salary cap, Sun Media has learned.

The ’Hawks could be facing a maximum fine of $5 million and the loss of draft picks if the league’s investigation uncovers proof of allegations that Chicago discussed the possibility of Hossa retiring before the end of the deal, which would end Hossa’s cap hit.

This is what Detroit did with Zetterberg and Franzen and the NHL didn't do a thing about it.

With the comedy of errors this offseason has been, nothing will surprise me anymore

Also, what's going on with the keeper league?

There have been a lot of errors this offseason, but why should the NHL start monitoring this year?

With the keeper league, it's up in the air until we get enough people to play.

What a complete 180 from last offseason when this organization could do no wrong.

Return to Chicago Blackhawks
