Hot for Hossa

That would be Marian Hossa. As Bruce Garrioch at the Calgary Sun reports that the Rangers are one of a handful of teams interested in the services of Hossa if contract discussions break down with him and the Thrashers next week...

"Marian Hossa's future with the Thrashers could be decided next week.

Thrashers GM Don Waddell told reporters last night that he's going to sit down with Hossa and his Edmonton-based agent Ritch Winter early next week to see if he'll sign a long-term extension.

"I'm not frustrated. It's just something that's got to get moved quicker than it has," said Waddell. "Look, (trade deadline) is right around the corner. We've had many, many discussions, and I'm just going to tell them that we've got to get to the next stage."...

...If the club decides to deal Hossa, he will be a hot commodity with the likes of Detroit, Colorado, the Rangers, San Jose and Ottawa lining up to make an offer."

...is it me or are the Rangers mentioned in every trade rumor in the league?
