That's exactly what they want you to think.
The burden of proof, that there are no solutions to make hypo-allergenic equipment that would work for him, should be difficult to reach.

Browns salary still too high he'd never go along with it.

This is like when I know I want to call in sick the next day, but start the rouse early the day before (coughing, lethargy) to make it feel more legit when I call in.

Is the league going to do an investigation? What would stop teams like the Kings or Bluejackets from reporting the same thing with Gaborik or Clarkson?

Let's just assume that Hossa is done playing.
He is to make 1million for 4 years with a 5million cap hit
He will never play again
Seems to me like he checks all the boxes for the Coyotes. I'm calling it right now. Hossa to Arizona. With Pronger and Savard coming off the books Hossa would be an excellent replacement, especially "locked up" for 4 more years.
This is where we find out if the new?(sort of) Coyotes owner is for real or just another punchline. I'll bet on punchline. In the 2 weeks since he took 100% ownership the Coyotes have already traded about 3million in capspace for a pick and a B- prospect. Nice work Treliving.

I can buy that he's become allergic to something in his equipment. Allergies are weird things and you can become allergic to stuff you've been exposed to your entire life with no prior issues.
But what I can't buy is that they can't make alternative equipment that won't have these problems. Surely something made out of alternate materials would solve this problem.

Statement from Hossa and the Hawks:

Quote:
Statement from Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa:
Over the course of the last few years, under the supervision of the Blackhawks medical staff, I have been privately undergoing treatment for a progressive skin disorder and the side effects of the medications involved to treat the disorder. Due to the severe side effects associated with those medications, playing hockey is not possible for me during the upcoming 2017-18 season. While I am disappointed that I will not be able to play, I have to consider the severity of my condition and how the treatments have impacted my life both on and off the ice.
The Chicago Blackhawks organization, including Rocky Wirtz, John McDonough and Stan Bowman, and my agent, Ritch Winter, have been very supportive throughout this entire process. I would also like to thank my teammates and the amazing Blackhawks fans for their understanding. With respect to the privacy of my family, I will not be commenting any further on my health.
Statement from Chicago Blackhawks Senior Vice President and General Manager Stan Bowman:
The Chicago Blackhawks are in full support of Marian Hossa as he addresses his medical issues. This is extremely difficult for us because we all know the incredible person and player that Marian Hossa is - competitive, loyal and humble. He has played a major role in the success our franchise has experienced in recent years, which makes his departure from our lineup a significant loss. His teammates and coaches know he battled through some very tough physical difficulties but never complained or missed games despite the challenges he faced. The organization will continue to provide him every resource he needs to maintain his health.
Statement from Chicago Blackhawks Team Physician Dr. Michael Terry:
Marian has been dealing with the effects of a progressive skin disorder that is becoming more and more difficult to treat and control with conventional medications while he plays hockey. Because of the dramatic nature of the medications required and their decreasing effectiveness, we strongly support his decision not to play during the 2017-18 season. We feel in the most certain terms this is the appropriate approach for Marian in order to keep him functional and healthy in the short term and throughout his life.

A skin condition. So not an allergy then.
Definitely more believable, but sure is damn "convenient" for the Hawks.

While this certainly helps the Hawks cap problems, the fact is, Hossa is still a viable player at his existing cap hit.
His leaving the Hawks this year does not make them a better team.
