In this case, Hossa can still play, and he's still worth his cap hit. But I'm skeptical that this condition will keep him out for an entire year. He's likely at a point where it's not worth taking the beating of a NHL season for what's left on his contract, and the team is happy to still pay him for his past service and not suffer any cap consequences.

Maybe at playoff time when there is no cap?
