Hossa said Wednesday night he thinks he could have played a couple more years before a healthy retirement. Hossa was forced to retire with four years left on his contract due to a progressive skin disorder that left him unable to play hockey. No matter what side you were on, it is undeniable that Hossa is a legend. 'As a defenseman, if you get a little too far away from the net, especially on the penalty kill, he's on that off wing to drive the goal line and he's getting there every time.' 'He was a really good power forward and just all business, especially down low around the net. He was elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020.'Usually bad ones,' Richardson said. He was the 44th player in NHL history to score 500 goals, and the 80th player to score 1,000 points. Hossa accumulated 525 goals and 609 assists for 1,134 points in 1,309 regular-season games over his 19-year NHL career. His contract was traded to the Arizona Coyotes in 2018 and he formally retired in 2022. Hossa's playing career ended prematurely in 2017, when he announced he was suffering from a progressive skin disorder.

He won two additional Stanley Cup championships with Chicago during the 2012––15 seasons. Over the course of his career, he made five NHL All-Star Game appearances and played in three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals with three different teams, finally winning the Stanley Cup in 2009–10 with Chicago. After spending his first seven NHL seasons with the Senators, he played for the Atlanta Thrashers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks. Hossa was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the first round, 12th overall, of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.
