I like Hossa off the toews line. I like the idea of a "shutdown" forward line, and if Hossa is on it then there is a scoring threat too, but Hossa isn't under any pressure to have his line put up the points. Ladd is not taking a pay cut to stay with Chicago. He might sign for the same he made on the Jets (4.4 million) because his take-home pay after taxes would be more, but the market for Ladd is a lot higher than what the Hawks could ever fit under the cap.
