Despite Swedish reports to the contrary, it appears Mats Sundin has not agreed to join the Vancouver Canucks. The unrestricted free agent's Swedish-based representative, Claes Elefalk, claims the story that appeared in the Daily News is completely false, claiming that reporter Dusan Umicevic contacted him seeking a quote. Despite Elefalk telling the reporter that his information was false, the story was published anyway. As it stands, the Canucks remain one of the team's that Sundin is currently considering, but he has still to make up his mind as to whether or not he will play next season.

Here we go again! NOOOOOOOOO!!! For the love of all that is Holy, just tell us when his signature is on a contract or his retirement papers.

Well, it is a little while since we had a Sundin non-story LetsGoPens. Maybe the good folks at T&R thought we were getting withdrawal symptoms. And as non-stories go, this one is pretty good, i.e., it contains NO NEWS whatsoever.

Hopefully this isn't going to be the only topic today ........

Looks like he's off to B.C.
In American Politics, they say the sure way to confirm a story is to wait for the denials to start.

So where are all the Farve bashers?... at least Farve is a former mvp x3 and hall of famer.... Sundin is just over-rated... thus no fuss holding up other team's plans...

Despite reports to the contrary, it is now official that the Vancouver Canucks are rumored to be attempting to acquire every player in the NHL

Right, them and Toronto. And the Rangers are interested in every player over 30.
Hockey news really is slow in July.

Despite reports to the contrary Vancouver is still gonna miss the playoffs whether Sundin goes there to play or not !

Just rumors at this point.. non story.

Ahh the "Sundin Sweepstakes." Who needs a player that likes to punch people in the back of the head after the whistle?

July 21, 2008  11:46 AM ET

Agree Drj

ITB, you'll have to be a little more specific about who you're referring to... that comment can be attributed to almost any player who laces them up in the pros...

So very, very starved for headlines. I bet they get gave him a huge 20$ bill for this rumouring efforts.

July 21, 2008  01:25 PM ET

I think he should've went to Detroit when he had the chance. Too late now. Vancouver's not going anywhere. Toronto's not going anywhere. IF he goes to the Habs,he'll go down as the biggest traitor in Maple Leaf history. Cant go to Ottawa. Same division. Calgary is cash strapped. San Jose anyone? They can just flip either Sundin or Marleau to the wing on the 2nd line. San Jose would be much stronger than last year,thats for sure.

The Matts Sundin story is as tiresome as the Brett Favre saga in Green Bay! All Matts needs is to throw a couple of tantrums and he'll be just like Brett!

July 21, 2008  01:37 PM ET

The Favre story is more tiresome than the Sundin story. I dont even read the Favre stories anymore. Crocodile tears this guy has. Green Bay is also sick and tired of his indecisive mind.

It could be worse - - it could be a Forsberg rumour.
