If Hossa had resigned with the Pens in the summer, would we be here today?

I asked that question on Twitter.These are the answers from some of my followers. pensexperienceQuestion of the day: If Hossa had resigned with the #Pens in the summer, would we be here today? bpshoe@pensexperience After losing all of the toughness, and the lack of cap room at the trade deadline would have crippled Shero. JustinTruth@pensexperience Tough to say, but if Hossa was around you can all but guarantee no Orpik and we don't extend Staal.Jagrmeister@pensexperience Its very possible. But there's no way to know. Its not a simple yes or no answer.pr9000@pensexperience better question: could they get to SCF with a player who can't score a goal? They have a few of those already. :)n1chol3@pensexperience No, we wouldn't have Orpik, and probably Staal, Satan or Feds Maybe, and no Guerin.jclaneve@pensexperience: Chemistry doesn't score goals, nor does Hossa. The Pittsburgh Penguins score goals. I wouldn't have it any other way.madampenna@pensexperience No....
