It's bad enough that the Red Wings won this past season's Stanley Cup. Now, they go out an ink Marian Hossa, selected by Hound Central 3.0 readers as this summer's top unrestricted free agent, to a one-year, $7.4 million deal.
Though far from unanimous, Hossa, who will play for his third team in less than a season, easily outdistanced the competition, snagging nerly 80 percent of the relative few votes cast.
Given Detroit's talent-laden lineup (featuring Mssrs. Lidstrom, Datysuk, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, among others), a gnawing rumble in the pit of my stomach tells me that the Red Wings may very well do the same in 2008-09.
Oh, the humanity.
Question: Who's the top UFA?
Marian Hossa: 11 out of 14 votes cast (78.6 percent)
Wade Redden (NYR): 2 out of 14 votes (14.3 percent)
Jaromir Jagr: 1 out of 14 votes (7.1 percent)
Cristobal Huet (CBH): 0 out of 14
