As Hossa's World Turns

By now, most of us have heard the relevant quotes from Marion Hossa's 5-minute, end-of-season session with the media, where he talked of how great it was to be a Penguin and how he would consider less money (to a point) to stay in Pittsburgh and be on a contender.

Well, a separate article I recently read in The Hockey News from right before the Stanley Cup Final gives some additional insight into both what Hossa is thinking and what his agent, Rich Winter, is thinking about his upcoming free agency:

Hossa's comments are consistent with those he told the Pittsburgh media, but his agent's remarks run a little deeper. Looking at everything, I continue to believe there's a fair chance we'll still see #18 in Pittsburgh next season and beyond.
