from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
The Canucks remain hopeful that Mats Sundin will take the two-year, $20 million deal they’ve left on the table. Great spot, Vancouver, but the Canucks aren’t winning the Cup with Sundin, this year or next. If he wants to win, his only real option is to sign with the Red Wings, and take the kind of “championship discount” Marian Hossa accepted ($7.45 million per year). “Marian made it clear that he wanted to be with an elite team,” said one of the 29 NHL general managers who didn’t land the elite right wing. “And right now, it looks like there is only one elite team in the league.”
many more NHL topics…
Ken Holland has stated the Wings are not on Sundin’s radar, just in case you are asking.

They stress reading about as much where I work, too.

In reality, he just really doesn’t want to see him go to Montreal, salary cap be damned!

Actually there were a lot of stories in that one article, nice catch. And I think he was being facici-- fascish- fasiti- ...trying to be funny about signing with Detroit.

No thanks, not now.
And, yea, unless Mats wants to play for an entry level contract, that’s not going to happen.

“Facetious.”
I think Mats either plays in Sweden or stays in Toronto… Which means he’ll probably sign with the Canucks…

Mats will come to Montreal.... the team finished first place last year in the eastern conference… Also, Montreal is close to where is wife lives…
Go habs go!

They don’t exactly stress math too much at the Herald, do they?
