Hossa the Oiler
Hossa recently opened up about his past decisions and revealed that there was an option on the table for him to go to Edmonton on a long-term deal.
Marian Hossa admits that he turned down an 8-year contract from the Oilers with crazy money to sign a one-year deal in Detroit
There are plenty of reasons why Hossa didn't want to go to Edmonton. Even if the money was there, he could have foreseen a better chance at the cup with Detroit that season, as they did end up making it to the finals that year.
He could have also seen a better fit with his play style in Detroit. In that lone season that he played with the team, Hossa was able to put up a whopping 40 goals and 31 assists in 74 games.
