Source: NHL could void Hossa-Hawks contract
The NHL hasn't closed the books on the investigation into Marian Hossa's contract with the Chicago Blackhawks. But league sources have confirmed to Sun Media the consequences could be even stiffer than originally reported if the NHL decides that Hossa's new 12-year, $62.8 million contract circumvents the collective bargaining agreement and the salary cap. While the NHL is a long way from closing the books on the investigation, the 'Hawks could face stiff measures if they are found guilty. A league source confirmed the ultimate punishment would be voiding the contract altogether if Chicago is found guilty.

My sense is that the Hawks are abusing the rules but not breaking them (there is no rule stating a maximum contract length). That said, if the Hawks are in violation of the CBA, I'd love to see the punishment include either a loss of draft picks or a cap hit (e.g. they Hawks have a cap of $5 million less/year for a couple of years)...that would truly punish the behaviour.

Is this even a real story? Because when you click on the Toronto Sun link it takes you to a story about Petyr Sykora? And I looked on the rest of the hockey page for the Sun. No such story on there?

Should the NHL be investigating the Zetterberg contract too? If there's a loop-hole, the smart ones use it.

What are the Sens trying to do? Audition for a Pillow Soft commercial? They already are one of the softest teams in the NHL! Now they want to add Sykora!
Players like Mike Comrie, Heatley, Kovalev and (dare I say it?) Alfredsson and Spezza IS what's wrong with the Senators. FCOL, they even have a guy named Christoph Schubert in thier lineup!
Until the Sens revamp their entire philosophy and start getting tougher, they're going nowhere fast!

I thought when Bill Wirtz died that things would turn around for the Hawks.
