Hossa traded to Penguins
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Thrashers, just beating the NHL trading deadline Tuesday, dealt All-Star forward Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis to the Penguins for three young players.
They are 25-year old forward Colby Armstrong, 24-year old forward Erik Christensen and center Angelo Esposito, the team’s first-round draft pick this year.
In return, Hossa goes to a team featuring reigning NHL MVP Sidney Crosby.
Here’s an early view from Pittsburgh: “We don’t like this deal at all on many levels.”
Earlier Tuesday, the AJC’s Craig Custance blogged in the hours leading up to the deadline, with plenty of response from Thrashers fans.
Did the Thrashers get a fair deal in this transaction? Or did they unload too much to get anything in return, knowing Hossa was unlikely to sign a contract extension?
Are the Thrashers still a playoff contender? Can they do better than last year’s first-round exit without Hossa?
