(Writer’s note: Since we’re still doing these grades alphabetically … Ryan Hartman and Vincent Hinostroza will be covered in the short-timers post, while Tomas Fleischmann will be part of the trade deadline group post.)
This is a disappointing addition of Chicago Blackhawks grades to have to write, because I really like Marian Hossa. I think you’d be hard pressed to find any sizeable contingent of Blackhawks fans that doesn’t like Hossa. He seems like a very personable, real guy who pushes himself really hard whenever possible.
