No To Sundin

from Steve Rosenbloom of Rosen Blog at the Chicago Tribune,
Sundin has never been on a champion. He chose not to try last season. How can you not question his heart or spine at this point? I’m not sure I’d want Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews exposed to a whiff of that mentality.
Right now, this Hawks team has shown wonderful character and focus. This Hawks team also is playing perhaps the most exciting brand of hockey in the league.
This Hawks team is not ready to beat Detroit in the playoffs, either.
So that’s the problem. I don’t think Sundin is the solution.

Captaining an Olympic Gold Medal team doesn’t count?
The Olympics are great, but a two week single elimination tournament can’t compare to a two month, twenty-plus game grind to the Cup.

That’s after you’ve made sure to get your team in the playoffs.
I’m not sure how much “general opinion” matters, but it has certainly gone down since last years trade deadline. Too bad for such a good player.
