Mats Sundin expects to announce within the next two weeks where he will play next year. And the Maple Leafs remain an option - should he return to the NHL. "I will make a decision in the end of July or beginning of August," Sundin told Stockholm's Aftonbladet newspaper yesterday. "If I am going to play it's for the full season and I want to be there from the beginning of August." Sundin went on to suggest that he'll either play for the Leafs or Vancouver Canucks in 2008-09. "The Maple Leafs are not out of the picture if I decide to play," he said. "They made me a very good offer, even if it isn't even close to what the Canucks have offered. "But I have been in Toronto for 13 seasons and it is like home to me."

Memo to T&R; nobody cares any more, not one little iota. Even people who like Sundin are bored with this. Just tell us when he signs something and until then, forget it.

I'll be waiting with baited breath! These 2 weeks wont be able to go fast enough, I'm on the edge of my seat.

the fact that he would even want to come back to toronto shows the exact reason why Sundin is a loser and why the leafs shouldn't take him - HIS ATTITUDE.... the biggest knock on Sundin is that he lacks that killer attitude - to want to win... to do whatever it takes to win.... he has no hunger for the cup... and it is an attitude like this that has led to Sundin never even coming close to leading the Leafs to a cup... I want a leader who is so hungry for success and the cup, that he can taste it...

This just in Sundin is going to detroit for 1.2 million dollars. Wants to win a cup. now all we need is shanny back. NOT. all rumors

July 22, 2008  10:48 AM ET

One man does not win a cup., With a good supporting cast who knows what he could do

July 22, 2008  11:42 AM ET

You've been "FAVRE'd" man!! Anytime a sports personality can't make up his mind, he will forever be linked as such. Damn, that has really gotta suck.

July 22, 2008  12:10 PM ET

Complete Rumors.. do not believe this..

July 22, 2008  12:14 PM ET

Dear Sundin, T i t s or GTFO. And by T i t s I mean sign a contract....

July 22, 2008  01:17 PM ET

Oh... I can't wait for so long! Please! Please!

July 22, 2008  02:27 PM ET

Who does this guy think he is? Yzerman? Lemieux? Gretzky? even those guys havent made teams wait around for a decision. The guy has a huge ego and honestly i wanted him to be with the wings but he doesnt want to play for a cup he wants financial security. He will end up signing with Toronto and say he took less money to play for a team who is 5 years away from competeing for a playoff spot. Leafs suck... go wings go!

Who does this guy think he is? Yzerman? Lemieux? Gretzky?

No, those guys have actually WON CUPS!!!

Hey Spiny, don't forget MVPs as well.

I'm surprised Toronto doesn't have a 24 hour a day TV channel dedicated to this guy, like The Truman Show. Of course, IF his wife is hot it might be worth it.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

yes Spiney my point exactly.... they are far more superior then sundin... and being a diehard wings fan Sundin isnt even good enough to tie yzermans skates.
