Earlier in the week, reports surfaced that the NHL was going to investigate the reasoning behind Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa’s planned long-term injured reserve placement. GMs of other teams have complained, speculating that the Blackhawks are just using Hossa’s reported skin condition as a way to gain some serious cap relief.
But, as 670 The Score’s Jay Zawaski (@JayZawaski670) states below, that is completely absurd.
I get the complaint, but there is no scenario in which the Hawks are better without Hossa! Dude had 26 goals last year! https://t.co/n1sxAJ5CuR

I wouldn’t sweat the Hossa/cap relief thing.
