Apparently Gainey met with Sundin, my only concern is who would have to be let go to make room for Sundin if he signed with the habs, the usual suspects are Boullion, Dandeneault, and Brisebos, but none of these guys free up a center spot for him.

How great would a sign and trade be? Sundin could win back my respect, not that I'd expect him to care.

He didnt decline being traded last year for no reason.

He'll be back with the leafs. He's not playing right now for a couple of reasons.

1) He's old and wants some rest.
2) The leafs are rebuilding and if they are close to making the playoffs he'll sign. Its a new team with a lot of players that need the ice time to mesh and step up. He was likely asked to not play till december because of the rebuilding so the leafs could get a shot at tavares but its clear they wont be bottom of the barrel so its another playoff push.

Mats is a 6'5'' 230 pounder with 1300+ career points and a gift for winning faceoffs. Anybody who doesn't want him on their hockey team has no idea what they are talking about.

I want to continue to see Grabovsky in that #1 centre role and on the #1 PP-unit. He deserves the minutes needed to contend for the Calder.

He probably just found out that he got hired by the Leafs

The question is, should the Leafs try to bring Sundin back?

Better yet, what purpose would his return serve, given that the Leafs are in a rebuilding mode?

The Leafs are badly in need of a franchise forward....or quality young forwards at the very least. The most practical way to acquire that would be to finish lower in the standings.

In my view, getting Sundin would be counter-productive to the team's rebuilding.
