Sundin rumour!

[nucklehead88]

So Canucks fans a rumour is goin around from a creditable source that Mats Sundin is going to be reporting to Canucks training camp, keep in mind this is a rumour but thought it should be brought up!

Sundin last season:

Regular Season
GP: 41
G: 9
A19
PTS: 28
Team points ranking: 9th

Playoffs
GP:8
G:3
A:5
PTS:8
Team points ranking: 3rd

If that's the case, then I'm happy.

Although Sundin didn't live up to the expectations that many people had set for him, the truth of the matter is that coming in half-way through the season is a VERY difficult thing to do. Scott Niedermayer can attest to that.

However - it was obvious that Sundin was starting to find his game during the playoffs (i.e. he was once again a PPG player).

Sundin would once again bring MAJOR leadership to the Canucks. Given how weak our depth is up front, I think Sundin would be a great addition to our top 6. I hope we get this guy for 1 more season at the right price.

So...... any kind of source? Or are we just starting the "Sundin Watch" again for nothing.

If he wants to play for dirt cheap (for him) - then it's almost a rumour. Otherwise, it's just as likely as Farhan's WCE reunion.

On a related note, and I don't want to jump ahead, Theo Fleury was seen checking out hotels in the Downtown Eastside.

Sweet I heard there is some nice beach front property on the Eastside for Theo to check out.

Toot! Toot! -- ALL ABOARD!! The Sundin rumor train will be leaving the station on september the 12th. All rumors should be seated, properly buckled into their restraining harness, with their tray tables locked in the upright position.

Link? Anything?

Why would the guy show up without a contract? It's not like he's a crappy player with something to prove just to get a contract. There are plenty of teams (ours included unfortunately) that would pay this guy good money before knowing what he can do.

I've been a big advocate of bringing Sundin back, but this certainly falls into the category of unsubstantiated rumour. I can't finding anything anywhere to suggest this has even been discussed before, let alone true. HFboards and the CDC forums make no mention of it, and they're pretty quick on the draw for these things. If you're right well done on the scoop NH88, but realistically I think #13's time as a Canuck is done. The guy just got married and by all indications hasn't really started a summer conditioning routine yet. That combined with the fact that Gillis has said that he won't wait half a year again suggests to me that Mats is going to retire.

I live in hope though.

I hate this thread.

Bring a source to the party and if you don't have one this is a stupid post.
