The threat of retirement is not standing in the way of NHL teams taking a hard run at free agent forward Mats Sundin. Sources tell TSN as many as four teams have tabled offers for the 37 year old, including one undisclosed team - believed to be the Vancouver Canucks - that has offered a whopping $10 million per year on a multi-year contract. Sundin, who remains in Sweden is said to considering all of his options, but has yet to decide whether or not he play next season.

The Canucks in the end.....Oh wait this so called "sport" sucks....turds.

This is just dumb. Should Sundin accept...which itself shows what a crayon short of a full pack he is, it would make him the highest paid player in the NHL.
Like I said. Dumb.

Wow, thats far more than Iginla makes....for a 37 year old. Not smart by Vancouver if this is true.

$10 million reasons to make up his mind and ...... he still can't! Not very good!

maybe he realises he isn't worth it?

Everything is back asswards.

First we get Huet earning more than Brodeur and now $20 million for Sundin?

I like Sundin but this is nuts.

July 2, 2008  10:03 AM ET

I still don't get the Theodore move.

BETTMAN S***S

Why is Vancouver that desperate? $10 mil/season for Sundin? Its not a bad deal for Sundin. Maybe thats the incentive he needs to make up his mind.
I just hope T.O isn't stupid enough to try to match it.

Nah! JFJ is long gone, otherwise he would've been tripping over himself to get Sundin to sign on the dotted line!

July 2, 2008  10:17 AM ET

DCruiser. Yah, Fletcher is cleaning house. See ya Sundin, its been a slice!

July 2, 2008  11:41 AM ET

Well if Mats was smart he would.....oh yeah Spiny is an idiot.

July 2, 2008  11:54 AM ET

I dont see sundin goin to vancouver, they could spend that 10 mil on younger players that they can hold onto for more than a 1year deal.

July 2, 2008  11:57 AM ET

$10 MIL is ridiculous. He's barely worth a $6 MIL right now.

July 2, 2008  11:59 AM ET

"First we get Huet earning more than Brodeur and now $20 million for Sundin?"
Yes, pretty sad indeed.
The result of a oalie-starved FA market this year and a lot - I mean a f...ing lot - of stupid GMs.

I love these teams throw stupid money around, to buy one player, thinking it's the solution to being a cup contender. The Canucks have a gun, feet and an loose trigger.

Sundin is -not- worth 10M. At his age, I don't even think he's worth 5M.

What's to become of the Caps goaltending? I wring my hands in despair....maybe Leonsis thinks that Green and Backstrom can do it all hahahaha. And Ovechkin was asked to work on his two way play, which did improve this past season and will hopefully get even better. Oh well......
