For second straight year, star could be NHL's top unrestricted free agent

By Craig Custance

In past contract negotiations, general managers had to convince Marian Hossa that their franchise was the right place for Hossa to sign long term.

The Pittsburgh Penguins couldn't do it despite offering an opportunity to play beside Sidney Crosby for the next seven years.
