07:03 AM ET 12.03 | The closest Mats Sundin and the Toronto Maple Leafs will come until his number is honored at the Air Canada Centre in the years ahead was when the Leafs were on the ice at the Staples Center the other day while their former captain was working out somewhere in the Los Angeles area. That is because the Leafs' new president and general manager, Brian Burke, really has no intention of pursuing Sundin now that he is finally in office. Those close to Burke say he is only going through the motions, expressing a token interest in Sundin, because he would rather not offend a large segment of the Leafs' fans in the early days of his regime. But it is clear Sundin does not fit into Burke's plans.

Burke would have to be token to be spacing out on any interest in the 'undecided eggheaded wonderboy'...."boy I wonder if I should play hockey...my head hurts, I can't decide"...

When I saw "token" in the story title my interest was immediately piqued!

But again it was nothing more than lunch bag let down...

He can be the spotlight for any police force. Put a flashlight on his head and it will become a search light.

And .... we only have a token interest in either one of the two. More like a mild curiosity.

Honestly dont care anymore. This whole episode has become a laughingstock.

I feel like Burke is a little bit of an overrated GM, but by NOT wanting the annoying Swede raises Burke a notch, IMO.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I have absolutely no interest in either one, not even a token one.

What I really wanted to say is .... they both can go and fark themselves. Is that more clear, Chief?
