Marian Hossa, meanwhile, turned down a lucrative deal from the Edmonton Oilers believed to be worth between $70 million to $80 million over eight or nine years and a $49-million, seven-year offer to stay with the Pittsburgh Penguins and instead chose to accept a one-year job assigment with the Detroit Red Wings for $7.45 million

Ha ha yer Canadian.
I can't take hockey personally, but I do enjoy the name and comedic tomfoolery of Brent Butt.

ditching that kind of money to accept a one year deal can mean only one thing: he's thinking of hanging up his skates.

At 28? Kinda early. I question this, too:
Quote:
The 28-year-old wants to win a championship right away, and figured joining Nicklas Lidstrom and the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings was a better bet than staying with the Cup finalist Penguins...
..."I've said before, I want to have the best chance to win the Stanley Cup and I feel like Detroit is the team," Hossa said on the same conference call. "It wasn't an easy decision. I knew I could have gotten more money somewhere else but I wanted the best chance to win the Stanley Cup and Detroit is the best destination."

The dynasty team in the making is the Pens, imho.
