You doubt... but you don't know.
Maybe they think Vegas wants a guy of Hossa's quality making only 1M in real dollars. Honestly, Hossa is more then worth 1M as he is, sure he's not quite worth his cap hit anymore but if you're a cash poor cap rich team Hossa is a great deal. So say Vegas does claim him... Hossa wants to retire and isn't about to spend his days toiling for an expansion team so instead of reporting he retires. Boom... Chicago gets hit with Cap Recapture.

Bill Daly says the NHL still has to evaluate whether Marian Hossa can be placed on LTIR next season. No timetable for that decision.

Yeah, figured. The NHL loves nothing more then not enforcing it's own rules. NJ get's dinged a draft pick for cap circumvention... np just give'm one back, Sure LA you can void Richards contract... oh, the PA is grieving it... np we'll just negotiate a weak settlement in your favor, obviously fraudulent LTIR claim by Chicago.... lalalalalalalala nothing amise here.
