Mats Sundin

All summer long, several NHL clubs waited for Mats Sundin to take a decision wether he's gonan continue playing or simply retire. This caused a lot of drama in Montreal since Bob Gainey gained exclusive rights to negociate with Sundin a bit before july first.

He still hasn't decided if he was gonna play, but in my opinion it won't matter if he signs with the Montreal Canadiens or not, we already have a good club and he would simply be a bonus.

But I particularly said what Gainey told him when he spoke to him in a last attempt to convince him to sign "If you wanna retire, go ahead, if youre not sure, play and the emotions will follow"

I thought it was great, because if Sundin really thought he didn't want to continue he couldve done it a while ago. but he's still uncertain and it looks like hes got a lot of good hockey to play and can help teams really well still even at 38 years old. Last season he managed to score over 70 points while playing for one of the worse team in the eastern conference. he was the only guy doing and able to do anything and he kept delivering. He has been a symbol of consistency throughout his career and it would be a shame to see him go like this, while he was uncertain about his future
