Marian Hossa signs with champion Detroit Red Wings

DETROIT (AP) — Marian Hossa chose to join the Detroit Red Wings at a discount.

He hopes hoisting the Stanley Cup will make it worth the sacrifice.

Hossa signed a one-year contract with Detroit on Wednesday, and a person in the NHL told The Associated Press the deal is worth $7.45 million.

He had rebuffed a chance to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were reportedly offering $7 million a season as part of five-year contract after they lost the Stanley Cup finals to Detroit last month.
