I own a Z Jersey = if Sundin comes I’ll wait him out. If Z doesn’t get resigned I’ll wear it , for what might have been

I think its almost certain that Sundin isn’t just looking for money. If he was, he would have taken Vancouver’s offer in seconds. To get paid more than Malkin, Ovechkin, or Crosby?

I can’t say for sure what he’s looking at (I LOVE the Rangers, but seriously, the best contender he could find?). It must be the intangibles, working with multiple other Swedes (Henrik, Nazzie, Sjo), living in NYC, the media attention of NYC…

But if he REALLY wants to be a Ranger, and money is no object, as it supposedly seems, why not sign for like 2M so the Rangers don’t have to dump assets to get him?

BTW – be careful of getting a Staal jersey. I see him eventually getting # 14 his junior number. maybe as early as next yr

Sundin only had 2 seasons where he didnt have over 70 points. Pretty impressive…

1st season with Quebec 59 points.
1994-95 47 game 47 points 1/2 season.

Chris – someone doesn’t need to have a letter to be a leader. Mario had no letter at one point although he was an owner. Gretz did not have a letter here (at least I don’t think so).

good point you bring up though. i wouldn’t mind some of our past be more visible with team either in official roles or unofficially. someone like Leetch for example. and speaking of dmen I could see Staal getting the C after Drury/Gomez are through here.

Maybe Sundin should do a coin flip checkout this link from TSN.CA

Beer & ChrisS

The both of you make excellent points!!!! Bravo on that! I was impressed to see Betts have the “A” one night. He definately deserves it as well.

if he signs with us he’ll just sign for this season. if he signs with canucks it will be for this season and next. no insider info at all. just my gut instinct.

LI Joe and Beer me,
Appreciate the insight. Obviously I see where you’re both coming from.. And I know that it’s His team a long with Drury and hank. But I really think that the back line should be represented as a guy that the younger players like Staal and Girardi can look up too and an example of what the coaches expect out of the D line for the vets
