The world's most expensive hockey rental player, the subject of one of the sorriest "national" sports soap operas of all time, is going to be a major event here tonight, a feature photo-op of this entire NHL season.
Mats Sundin, after practice in Vancouver, gave himself the green light, boarded the flight and arrived here yesterday with the Canucks preparing to play in tonight's tilt against the Edmonton Oilers.
Will you cheer or jeer Sundin's return to the NHL? Have your say in our forum.
A Mediocre player that played on a really bad team does not deserve this much attention.

OK - I'm a Leaf fan and I was always a Sundin fan, but this has gotten stupid. Make your damn announcement already!!!

The traitor will surely sign with vancouver since he feels they have a better shot of NOT making the playoffs.

I could see something like this happen in Toronto 20 years ago or more. A true "Maple Leaf" doesn't look for greener pastures. I believe the Toronto Maple Leafs will be a better team without the distraction of the "Sundin Circus". Let the young players play and let the spoiled "prima donna" move on.

At the poker table in Europe. TSN and Sportsnet has turned in cases into SUNDIN TV; All Mats, all the time. Sundin has Shreddies for breafast! Hockeycentral will now debate what this means for the future of all! The fate of the known universe hangs on Mats Sundin and His decision! It's Sundin Watch '08!
Enough Already. Pick a team or go away.

Sundin is a disgrace! He should have never turned his back on the Leaf Nation.
Shame on him!

Hope he does sign with the Rangers, then breaks his leg on his first shift.
