I am not so sure about this deal for the Blackhawks. I always look at a players ability to get the job done when giving big money. I believe there is something to be said for guys who are gritty and find ways to win. If you look at some of the biggest goals in hockey they are scored by top tier players but not often the "best scorer" on the team.
Examples: Joe Thorton... if you have to ask why you don't watch or understand hockey.
Examples: 2008 Red Wings... Not the best players in the league but proved they could win!
Of course there is also the curse of the "Marions"!
My guess is the Blackhawks make it to the finals and Hossa will watch a 3rd team in 3 years lift the Stanley Cup over their heads... Perhaps being one of the oldest players will help him mature and learn how to win and not jump ship!
