Can't beleive I'm asking this....?

Question

....any news on Sundin and whether he's leaving the Leafs or staying?

Answer 1

No news as of yet.

In this article...

http://www.tsn.ca/story/?id=240281

it is stated that before July 1st we will know what Sundin's decisions are.

Also he is NOT retiring.

If he leaves the Leafs he will most likely be going to:

Sweden

The Ottawa Senators

The Vancouver Canucks.

Answer 2

The only reason he would come to Detroit is because the Wings arguably give him the best chance at getting a cup before he retires.  I wonder how much cash he would want.  But do the Wings really need him?  Not unless Filppula is moving to wing or Draper is retiring.

Mats Sundin going to a Canadian rival of the Leafs would seem to be out of the question.

Answer 3

I can't see it happening, however some of the local media, Bob McCowan especially, have not been overly fond of Sundin. Realistically he has been our best player by far.

Homes, classic.

Answer 4

Cliff Fletcher is supposed to be meeting with Sundin in the next 7 to 10 days (according to TSN).

There have been (unconfirmed) reports that if his contract will not include a no trade clause that Sundin is looking for a two year deal worth $8-million+/year.

It is also rumoured that while Detroit may be an option for him, that he wants to remain with a Canadian team and that the front runners are Vancouver and Calgary.  There have also been reports that even if he does not sign with the TML before July 1 that he may still end up signing in Toronto.

Answer 5

I read an article today that said the Wings and the Habs topped his list and that he told the Leafs GM that he wanted to "test" the free agent market.

I'll find the link.

(It's from the Detroit Free Press, so who knows how legit it is, but its the only thing i've really heard)

Answer 6

He wouldn't waive his no-trade clause so I think he wants to stay in Toronto,but I could be wrong
