Sundin Headed to Free Agency

10Million? Is that a joke? Wow, no thanks!

[Dabura 12,207]

Ah, the salary cap era. This truly is a time of financial prudence.

it's gotta be the old "I didn't say I'd give you 10 million dollars. I said *doll hairs* 10 million *doll hairs*"

[betterREDthandead 58]

If it's a team like Tampa offering $10 million, I don't blame them. If they offer the same as Detroit or Montreal, they lose. Tampa is a hockey backwater and they have to set themselves apart somehow. Money is the only way they can.

Remember when the Tigers signed Pudge? It was widely ridiculed, and Pudge is still overpaid. But it legitimized the Tigers as a destination after years of signing the Craig Paquettes of the world. Tampa might be doing the same this summer.

If history is any indicator I'd say its the Rangers offering $10mil.

Fan590 reported that it is believed that Vancouver made the $10 mil offer (2 yrs/$20 mil total).

Haha yep

Hopefully Sundin recognizes that a team offering 10 million has no chance of winning the Cup, and is bargaining out of desperation.

That's absolutely ridiculous. .

Faceoffcircle's reporting the same thing.

Don't do it, Mats.

Van .. hmm. I guess it could work. But still, $10 mill, holy crap... If indeed that is truly legit.

Quickest way to kill what's left of your career. Whatever happened to players wanting to go to a Cup contender? Vancouver can only boast Luongo and the Sedin twins, the latter of which are basically second liners.

I imagine Melrose would negate that effect, though.

Eh, to be fair, the 'nucks with a motivated Sundin could be decent. Nowhere near serious contention, of course.
