bdc30 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mats Sundin, a Montreal Canadien? Had Bob Gainey and Cliff Fletcher had their way at the trade deadline, Sundin would now be a member, healthy or not, of Les Glorieux. The deal was in Sundin's hands: All he had to do was give his blessing to being dealt, which he did not. The agreed-to trade would have sent speedy winger Christopher Higgins to the Leafs, along with Montreal's first, second and third-round draft picks, in exchange for the captain.linkage: http://www.torontosun.com/Sports/OtherSpor...019701-sun.htmlWow. Just wow. Higgins and 1/2/3 pick for Mats?!?!? Thank you, Mr. Sundin, for not waiving your NTC for that raping.Signed,Every Habs Fan in Canada Link to post Share on other sites

bdc30 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Come on - even you serge have to admit what a colossal raping this trade would have beenGotta give Fletch credit though. Between that and getting Jeff Carter and a pick for Kaberle, the Leafs would have been looking a lot better in 2 or 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites

bdc30 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 How is it a bad trade..If Sundin is on Montreal , they are a legitimate cup contender..now not so much have three less draft picks, one less forward, and an aging, hurt, rent-a-player who's out for pretty much the rest of the season anyway..Yeah, you're right - not a bad trade at all.

MrJohn 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thats a terrible trade for an UFA. Well personally I dont like that trade because I dont think Sundin is worth THAT much to the Canadians since he's so loyal to the Leafs. I'd bet he'll resign with them. I'd be a nice trade if Montreal was able to get him signed though. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Sundin may have put Montreal over the hump. THese trades are always worth it if you get the cup. Rarely happens though. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'd be a nice trade if Montreal was able to get him signed though.Even if Sundin signed for the last 2 or 3 seasons of his "illustrious" career, you really think that's worth a 1st/2nd/3rd round pick AND a decent young forward???? With Price being as young as he is, this team could really make some noise in the next 3-5 years. The Leafs show NO inkling of that at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 While I don't disagree that Sundin is a better player than Tkachuk or a one legged Forsberg, he's certainly not that big of a difference maker, whereas you can throw out your entire rental theory. Just my opinion, through clear lenses, not blue tinted. Link to post Share on other sites
