Hossa's a vet and hasn't won a cup, has he?
Here's why Hossa say's he's coming to Detroit and what he hopes to accomplish

"It was a really tough decision for me to make," Hossa said. "When I compared the two teams, I felt like I would have a little better of a chance to win the Cup in Detroit."

Isn't that sufficient motivation? Why do you want an
old player that covets a Stanley Cup when you get a premier player
in his prime that has the same desire?
Hossa's leaving a lot of money on the table to get the cup. The fact that he's not past his prime, like a Dallas Drake-type, shouldn't change the hunger factor.
