4.275M against cap for 4 years.
It's the same amount for the remaining years whenever he retires (i.e 4.275 for 3 years if he retired after next season).
Ouch. Pretty sure there's no way to trade it, either. Not sure how much incentive Hossa will have to show up much longer for $1M real money. Perhaps a handshake deal to be a well paid team ambassador for a while if he delays retiring.
