Unless Hossa wants to retire. In which case Chicago could still trade him and the team getting him owes nothing but cap space.

If they traded Hossa, Chicago still would have been stuck with the cap recapture penalty. Same thing with retirement.
It was like $4 million per year over a few years depending on when Hossa retired.
LTIR is the only way out scot-free.
