Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

Why don't you ask him?

What makes you think we know? I, like everybody else in the Hockey Section, have never met the man nor do we know what he thinks.

Answer 3

mats sundin will play this seaso nand most likely for the rival canadians

Answer 4

He's in Sweden, vacationing like most players right now, figuring out what he wants to do. As of Tuesday he is a free agent and can play for any team he wants, like any other free agent.

The Leafs have allowed the Canadiens to talk to him in the meantime so see if they can lure him to Montreal, even though he has a no-trade clause in his contract. The Leafs have offered him a $7million one year no trade contract for next year.

If anything, the Leafs have screwed Sundin over. With Toronto promising the team would get better, he agreed to a contract of $5.5 million in his last Leafs contract, or about $2 million less than he was worth, and in return he got a no-trade clause (McCabe made $2 million more than Sundin did last year, and Kubina made just $2 million less). Then near the end of the season the Leafs turn around and want him to drop his no-trade clause! Nice discount for the Leafs if Sundin had agreed.

Through his entire career the Leafs did about as crummy a job as possible to build a team around Sundin, and now fans expect Sundin to agree to a trade in order to make up for all the lousy players the team employed and all the mismanagement on the part of coaches and GMs.

As we speak Toronto has the same dopey ownership, a part-time GM who is gutting the team without bringing in any new players, with no hope of being a contender for at least three to five more years.

Sundin doesn't owe Toronto anything. It's the other way around.

Answer 5

he should stay with toranto....i doubt he will not play @ all

Answer 6

Sure on the Leafs Alumnni Golf Tour, he and Ron Ellis will make a formidable pair.

CanadiEns you hosers, can't you effin spell?

Answer 7

Probably, just not here in the Big Smoke.

I'm just happy that it looks like the Human Pylon (McCabe) has played his last game for the Leafs.

Answer 8

He still isnt sure if he wants to continue playing. But I'm sure he will. But how does him retiring, make him s***w over Toronto. He has given everything he has to the maple leafs. Everyone wants him baack in Toronto but obviously the smart decision is to go to Montreal and have a chance at the cup!

Answer 9

the Leafs are and have been a sinking ship,.  If he's smart he'll sign with the Canadiens.  He supposed to make a decision within a week.

Answer 10

yes hes playing, we just dont know where yet

Answer 11

he's probably gunna play for Montreal!

Answer 12

He might be DRESSING this year, he may even TAKE THE ICE this year, but since when has he been PLAYING?

Answer 13

yeah...he is going back to the leafs or going to the canadiens. He should go to the Calgary or whtever they have lots of places and teams he could go. Everyone will want him:D
