Sundin done?
I'm listening to the Montreal Forum on the Team 990 out of Montreal. The host Tony Marinera says that Pratt has stated on the Team 1040 that a Sundin deal with the Canucks is done and that a decision will come in the next 7 to 10 days. Anyone else hear this?

The details between what I heard Pratt is reporting and what Eklund is reporting are very similar. What bugs me about this is either Shorty and Pratt are getting their info from HockeyBuzz or HockeyBuzz is getting their info from Shorty and PrattGeorge wrote: Eklund is hinting at it as well.... so lots of buzz going around, at least...

Incredible, if it is true.
In the last week or so, we're looking much less like a team bound for the Golf course in April, and more like a team to watch out for!
Maybe MGGM does know what he's doing after all.

Who knows what Sundin is thinking...
It's so convenient that he can hide in Sweden while all of this goes down.
The longer he waits the more he is going to piss someone off (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver).
I just don't understand why a guy who has had so long to "think about it" needs another 7-10 days...that is the weirdest schedule ever to make a decision.
This sounds a lot like the Forsberg rumours...remember, when everyone thought he was going to Philly - even TSN, Sportsnet, the whole gambit of media, then he ends up signing back in Colorado.
Gillis should have seriously put in a bonus for signing in the next 24hrs...

Pratt and Shorthouse reported it first, then Eklund..Linden Is God wrote:The details between what I heard Pratt is reporting and what Eklund is reporting are very similar.

Shorthouse, who I'd trust the most out of the 3, said he'd been told by two people he "highly respects" that a deal could get done in the next week or so. (Hopefully those two people aren't Pratt and Eklund....)
As for Sundin's schedule, I wonder if it has anything to do with Toronto being out of the running. Before a lot of the talk was he'd either retire or play for the leaves, and needed some time to think about it... Now it seems more and more like the leaves don't necessarily want him back, and it's down to Montreal or Van, which takes any loyalty he may have had to the leaves out of the equation....
I just hope Gillis doesn't pull another McPhee and demand an answer from him at 3am....

Thanks for the info. I don't listen to the Team 1040, so I didn't know who reported it first.George wrote: Pratt and Shorthouse reported it first, then Eklund..
And I hope he isn't handed the C right away as well.George wrote:

I'm really flopping back and forth as to whether or not this is the right move. I really hope it's only a 1 year deal. And if he dos sign, it mean Gillis will have to make some additional moves by training camp to make some more cap space **cough cough Cowan cough**

That's the link to the audio clip off CDC of the conference call with Demitra. Fast forward to the 8 minute mark for a fantasticly awkward and funny demonstration of "foot in mouth disease".
Demitra is asked whether or not he is concerned about the loss of Naslund and Morrison, and he replies by saying "not really, cause Mike's gonna bring in Sundin". When the reporter asks if he has info, or why he's so confident, Demitra becomes shockingly less literate
So does he know something? And even if he doesn't, it's infinitely more fun to suspect that he does than to admit that it could have just been a goof.

well Im pretty convinced hes coming here. I guess we will see what we see this season. Gillis is full of surprises but not.
and to those in the internet world (Im not saying on this board)
this is NOT the best canuck team we have had on paper. not by a long shot. what makes this maybe in some peoples eyes the best team ever is Luongo and some false hope.
but is it false with Luongo?
