... For what its worth, I really really respect Mats Sundin. I'm a big fan of him. He has always been a classy guy (except for that little stick throwing incident a few years ago).
Yesterday, Sundin declared that he will not waive his no-trade clause. Thus, sticking with the Maple Leafs. This guy truly bleeds blue-and-white. I like this decision. He says, that he doesn't believe in rental players. You know what, he is truly a guy who has seen it fail time and time again. Over the last few years, the Maple Leafs have been so desperate to win (or I guess more like make it to the playoffs) that they would deal away their young players for 'rentals.' Although, the Owen Nolan wasn't really a rental; however, he had a year left on his contract and then there was the lockout, so the Leafs only got like a year out of him, while trading away Brad Boyes and Alyn McCauley.
Here is hoping Sundin plays into his 40s, because the Leafs aren't going to get close to a cup for another 5 years. But I still respect him.
