from Mike Boone of Habs Inside/Out,
When asked about Vancouver’s offer, Carbonneau said “no one is going to spit on $20 million, but if competing offers are between $7 million and $8.5 million (per season), once you factor in taxes there’s a difference of may $1 million, $1.5 million.
“I think Mats Sundin has plenty of money in the bank. Money won’t necessarily be the deciding factor in where he chooses to finish his career.
“Everyone who knows Mats says he makes decisions when he’s ready. I don’t think he was ready July 1, and I think he’s still not ready.”
And with the Rangers and Detroit spending up to near the cap, Carbonneau says “I like our chances” of landing Sundin.
