Not saying he doesn't have a skin issue but career threatening? Sounds to me the severity of this condition is directly proportional to the salary of the player. There's just too much coincidence here to draw any other conclusion other than Hossa doesn't want to go through the rigors of an 82 game season for only $1 million and the Hawks don't want him to retire. The NHL caused this mess when they let the Kings get out of the Richards contract but they need to come down hard on this or silly allergies and other lame excuses will be commonplace to the point nobody will be able to take the league seriously anymore.
