Mats Sundin can no longer go out on his terms
2008-02-26 10:13:00 It's the beginning of the end for Leaf captain in TorontoMaybe Mats Sundin had decided this was it. Maybe he wanted nothing more than to go out on his own terms.And if Sundin had already made the decision that this was going to be his final year in the league, I'm sure this isn't how it was supposed to end.For what it is worth, my gut feeling tells me Sundin is poised to announce his retirement this summer and just wanted to spend the final 19 games of his career in that same dressing room, that same jersey, as he had for his previous 1,047. My hunch is that decision was already made, he just wasn't ready to say it yet. Maybe that nostalgic goodbye was all he wanted, to bid farewell to Toronto, to the NHL, his way.He didn't want his final game to be in a Detroit jersey. Or San Jose. Or Anaheim. Or Vancouver. It wouldn't feel right.Seeing how he signed a one-year deal with a no-trade clause last year, it isn't exactly a stretch.And yet, some feel the need to throw ...

Mats Sundin trade decision will be on his terms
2008-02-01 03:23:00 Maybe Mats Sundin just doesn't want to feel like a tramp.Maybe lifting the Stanley Cup after three months in another jersey would feel as cheap as sacking up with the entire offensive line of the school football team.So perhaps it's time for every hockey fan with internet access to calm down and just appreciate the decision, whatever it turns out to be.No one really knows what came out of the much-anticipated meeting between Cliff Fletcher and Sundin down in Carolina Wednesday and, by the sounds of it, things are going to stay that way.The drama, of course, is warranted.Fans of other teams are waiting for a potential addition that may give the trophy engraver a head start on the Stanley Cup.

Mats Sundin trade needs to happen soon
2008-01-11 20:26:00 If there was ever a dilemma in the Leafs' front office whether or not to ask Mats Sundin to waive his no-trade clause, that problem was just solved over a 48-hour period out on the California coast.Fans know it. Management knows it. Heck, anyone in the league knows it. And the general managers quietly putting together proposals in boardrooms know it.Now John Ferguson, who is somehow hanging on to his job by a thread, needs to convince Sundin a change of scenery is in everyone's best interests and make a deal, a move that will surely spell the end of JFJ's tenure in Toronto.Two things should be a given. Mats Sundin, at the very latest, should play his final game as a Leaf Feb. 25th in Ottawa, one day before the trade deadline. Shortly after, Ferguson should be on the unemployment line.That's assuming he even lasts that long, which right now seems nothing more than an even-money proposition.Only then will the Leafs be able to look to the future, chalking up JFJ's five year...
