That’s why he declined Vancouver’s initial offer, and didn’t even listen to Montreal/NYR/etc. When reports surfaced later that he was thinking about maybe playing for the remainder of the season, management in Toronto quickly let it be known that they had no interest.

    @ derek:
    Yeah, the Colorado and Florida references weren’t obvious. Truth is, I wasn’t even a huge Sundin fan. But I can see when a guy’s getting fucked over and I know he loved this city and this team. Yeah, if that’s the point of sports than go be a Chicago fan, they just won the Cup.

    Sundin was the most overrated player in recent Toronto sports history. Roberts, Belfour, Mogilny, and even Brian freakin McCabe were all twice the players that Sundin was. I miss all those players. I miss Dougy and Wendel. If someone said something bad about those players I would run to their defence. But Mats Sundin- I just feel nothing. Kind of like Lee Stempniak, or Russ Courtnall. I was glad to see Sundin go, I understand why Wilson and Burke didn’t want him.

    Hey, if I have a team I like, a city I like, I’ve been part of for 13 years, I’m the all-time leading scorer and captain, then I’m not going to say, ‘Ok management, you fucked up a lot. I’ll take all the heat and then let you trade me ’cause I’m apparently a bitch’.
    Yeah, that’s how I see it.

    But you guys don’t seem like the type to understand a lot of things, you’re just pissed ’cause Sundin would have ‘got us something in return’.

    @ lescott:
    Yeah, I see your point that Toronto could have been a little less transparent about it and that they were about subtle as a herd of elephants… but couching it in terms of slavery? That’s like pro-lifers comparing abortions to the worst genocides in history…a little overkill (pardon the pun)

    What do you care, Derek? You’re a Chicago fan now.

    M. Stephens, I’m just using it as means to prove a point, I’m not saying that it’s morally equivocal, just logically equivocal.

    Fletcher was the bastard who traded away Clark for Sundin, isn’t that some fucked up irony? Traded Dougy too.

    @ lescott:
    Not to start some pointless argument on the internet (because, ye know…it doesn’t really matter), but I feel its just a little insensitive to compare Mats Sundin’s treatment to that of a slave. As I said…overkill. It doesn’t really have a place on a hockey website, just like example I used earlier. You raise an entirely cogent and coherent point, but there’s something that I personally find inappropriate about your analogy. Its not really equivocal in terms of severity, scope, or emotional response and reaction to it. This isn’t to insult you or be smarmy and PC. This is hockey. Sundin was being paid 5+ Mil. Not really the same scenario.

    BLeaf, I liked a lot of those players more than Sundin. I don’t know that any of them were better than him. They certainly weren’t twice the player Sundin was. Clarky was always my favourite.
    It’s the principle of all of this that gets me.

    @ B Leaf:
    Why? Is it because he played the gritty, edgy game that we all love to watch? Is it because he’s a Canadian boy and played a Canadian brand of hockey? I’m not trying to discount the great years that Dougie had with Toronto in the early 90s (and yes, I’m old enough to have watched many of those games) but Sundin was the face of Toronto for 13 years and was our best player statistically for almost every one of them, sometimes all on his own. I don’t understand why Doug was so much better. Wendel Clark had the biggest impact on me when I was a kid watching Leafs games, but I still say that Sundin has done just as much for this organization than even he did.
