It was reported early Sunday in a Swedish newspaper that former Toronto Maple Leaf center Mats Sundin decided to accept the Vancouver Canucks crazy offer of 2 years at $20 mil. However, Mats and his agent came out and said that he has made no such agreement, nor has he decided whether to sign anywhere or just retire.
Apparently, the teams that have the best chance at landing the star forward are Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. While I doubt he'll go to hated rival Montreal, I'd be slightly surprised if he accepts Vancouver's offer. Sundin has never won a Stanley Cup, and I don't see Vancouver being a team that's terribly close to winning one before he retires. Nor is Toronto, who's supposedly in some sort of a rebuild.
There were reports out of Florida that Sundin was thinking about joining the Panthers and that Wade Belak was talking to him, trying to get him to come here. However, I'll almost pass out if he signs down here, for the same reason why I'll be surprised if he goes to Vancouver.
Could be he decides to go to Vancouver, but the best shot he has at landing a Cup is with Montreal. The saga continues...
