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

Why was Chicago going to have an issue getting rid of Hossa?
Doesn't Chicago still have to be on the hook for cap recapture penalties in the event they trade Hossa? I thought that was a major reason why Luongo was hard for Vancouver to trade, the contract scared the Canucks more than anyone they were going to move him to.
