Hossa accumulated 525 goals and 609 assists for 1,134 points in 1,309 regular-season games over his 19-year NHL career. His contract was traded to the Arizona Coyotes in 2018 and he formally retired in 2022. Hossa's playing career ended prematurely in 2017, when he announced he was suffering from a progressive skin disorder. He won two additional Stanley Cup championships with Chicago during the 2012––15 seasons. Over the course of his career, he made five NHL All-Star Game appearances and played in three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals with three different teams, finally winning the Stanley Cup in 2009–10 with Chicago.

After spending his first seven NHL seasons with the Senators, he played for the Atlanta Thrashers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks. Hossa was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the first round, 12th overall, of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. All Rights Reserved.Marián Hossa ( Slovak pronunciation: born 12 January 1979) is a Slovak former professional ice hockey right winger. If he retires now, the Blackhawks would be hit with a 'cap recapture' penalty of $3.675 million until 2020-'21, Friedman reported. Hossa is owed $1 million in each of the next four years, but his cap hit is $5.275 million, the average annual value of the deal. Hossa has four seasons left on what was originally a 12-year, $63-million deal, most of which has been paid, as it was front-loaded. The catch is that if this situation is strung out and he doesn't retire, the Blackhawks could receive some cap relief by placing him on the long-term injured reserve that they wouldn't receive if he retired, Friedman reported. If Hossa's playing days are indeed done, retirement would seem logical. How exactly this situation plays out remains murky. He had 26 goals and 19 assists in 73 games last season, after which he indicated he had no plans to retire. While details of this medical situation remain rather unclear, the 38-year-old Hossa suffers from an allergic reaction to the equipment he wears, Friedman reported, to the extent that he's had to have his blood tested every few weeks because the medication to combat it is so potent.Ī 19-year NHL veteran, Hossa has spent the past eight seasons with the Blackhawks, serving as a key part of three Stanley Cup-winning teams.
