March 15, 2008
There's a good chance that Marian Hossa will be able to return to action on Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Hossa has been out with a sprained MCL, and the Pens could really use his help, since Sidney Crosby is expected to miss the next week.

Marian Hossa skated for around 40 minutes prior to practice Wednesday and mentioned that his injured knee felt a little stiff, according to PittsburghLive.com.

At this time, Marian Hossa is only expected to miss about a week of action due the sprained knee he sustained in his debut with the Pens on Thursday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Marian Hossa skated only 13 shifts with his new team before he had to leave the game after sustaining a sprained MCL, this according to a report on TSN.

Marian Hossa is expected to make his debut with the Penguins on Thursday against the Bruins, according to the AP.

February 26, 2008
The Penguins acquired Marian Hossa and Pascual Dupuis from the Thrashers Tuesday in exchange for Angelo Esposito, Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen and a first-round draft pick. Hossa has 26 goals and 30 assists for the Thrashers this year and makes the already-formidable Pittsburgh offense that much more formidable.

February 25, 2008
Marian Hossa is almost certain to be moved by the trade deadline on Tuesday, and it appears that Montreal is the leader for his service according to a report on TSN. "It's interesting that we're playing in Montreal, but we'll see what happens. It's a hockey city. I've played in Canada and I know how the people are crazy about hockey, so it's an interesting place to play." Rumors were circulating that the Habs were out of the Hossa sweepstakes a few days ago, but they appear to be in hot pursuit of the sniper yet again.

February 23, 2008
GM Don Waddell doesn't think he'll be able to re-sign Marian Hossa to an extension before Tuesday's trade deadline, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "No, I don't believe so at this point," said Waddell. "We're going to look at all our options at this point, look at what the market will pay." In other words, it's all but certain that they'll deal Hossa, who can become a free agent at season's end, by Tuesday.

February 22, 2008
Marian Hossa rumors are starting to heat up with the trade deadline just days away, and the latest team in the mix appears to be the Boston Bruins according to a report on the Boston Herald. Ive had a number of conversations. I havent gotten to the stage of actual offers, and I know a lot of the other GMs havent, either," said Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli. We can only imagine what it would be like to see Hossa being fed by Marc Savard, but if this deal does happen, Hossa's already high value could go even higher.

February 21, 2008
Marian Hossa is still a member of the Tharshers and on Thursday night he let the Hurricanes know that as he picked up two assists. Hossa has recorded six points in his last four games as the team tries to sift through what must be a mountain of offers for their soon to be free agent who appears a good bet to be moved by next week's trading deadline.

February 15, 2008
Marian Hossa hit a smash shot past Martin Brodeur tying the game with 18.1 seconds left in regulation and the Thrashers pulled out a 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night. The win vaulted Atlanta into a first-place tie with Carolina.

February 13, 2008
Marian Hossa is still squarely in the Thrashers long-term plans but the looming trade deadline means that he could be nearing an end to his tenure in Atlanta if a contract extension cannot be worked out prior to next week's trade deadline according to the AP. "Our No. 1 goal is to try to sign this player," GM Don Waddell said. "We're utilizing our players as much as we can to try to make sure we stay in contention." Hossa is a marvelous player who could swing the balance of power for whatever team were to gain his services. Even in a "down" year, Hossa still has 24 goals and 49 points in 55 games.

February 11, 2008
Thrashers GM Don Waddell shot down the Marian Hossa-to-Canadiens rumors on Monday morning, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The glass broke in Montreal on Sunday afternoon," Waddell said. "We [Waddell and Montreal GM Bob Gainey] both happened to walk in back for a cup of coffee at the same time and Marian Hossas name never came up in the discussion. We were talking about his team looking so good That was the extent of it. Hossa is likely to be dealt if he's not re-signed by the Feb. 26 trade deadline, but rumors of him heading to Montreal appear to be a bit premature.

February 10, 2008
The Marian Hossa trade rumors are heating up as he still hasn't signed an extension with the Thrashers, but at least one rumor doesn't appear to be true. "We [Waddell and Montreal GM Bob Gainey] both happened to walk in back for a cup of coffee at the same time and Marian Hossas name never came up in the discussion," GM Don Waddell said. "We were talking about his team looking so good That was the extent of it. Hossa has had an uneven season but he still has 24 goals and 49 points and has shown himself to be one of the most consistently excellent all-around players in the game. The Thrashers will likely trade him before the deadline if they can't get a deal worked out for fear of losing him for nothing. Still, the team has said all along that it wants to keep him around so look for them to make every effort to re-sign the winger. Atlanta Journal Constitution
