I'm not sure you could make the buy-in for the tables that he plays at.

wanna bet?

Ive always had a lot of respect for Mats as a player and the captain of the Leafs.

Since this whole fiasco started, it's really worn on me. It sounds like he is in it for the money, not for a championship, which really smacks of bad taste.

I never really saw him as a "greedy" or "selfish" player, but now I do.

If he was in it for the money, he would have already taken the 20 mil from the Canucks. The Rangers don't have anywhere near that available to him but he is waiting for them to clear cap space.

Then why didn't he sign with the Rangers at the beginning of the year? He turned them down and they signed Naslund.

He apparently wasn't ready to play.

Doesn't anyone remember all of the "I wanna be with a team straight from training camp" and the "I don't wanna be a rental player" crap he was spewing last year. Don't get me wrong, up until the end of last year I had the utmost of respect for Sundin and his abilities, especially considering the deeply-sown hatred I have for the Leafs. But at this point it has become pretty hard to respect a guy who is, at best, just morbidly indecisive, or at worst, a loser and a bulls***ter.

That is exactly what I was thinking. He didn't want to play the end of the season on a new roster for the benefit of the team he captained for years (the return the Leafs would have received in a deadline deal), but it's OK for him to bandwagon on a team on his terms.

Thank goodness he's not going to the Sharks or the Hawks. That wouldve put a huge cramp in the Wing's repeat chances...

If Sundin takes a big paycut to join the Rangers, the Habs will be in a colossal furor.

Now I want him to go to NYR. Anything that pisses off the Habs fans sounds good! Edited December 16, 2008 by Wings_Fan_In_Exile
