Mats Sundin

IT’S OFFICIAL…
OLIVER STONE HAS AGREED TO WRITE AND DIRECT “THE MATS SUNDIN STORY”…
THIS SAGA HAS NOW PRODUCED MORE CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAN THE MOON LANDING…
HERE’S THE LATEST…
SUNDIN WILL PLAY THIS SEASON WITH THE NEW YORK RANGERS…
THE STORY COMES FROM LARRY BROOKS OF THE NEW YORK POST…WHO SAYS SUNDIN HAS…IN HIS WORDS…”DECLARED HIS INTEREST IN PLAYING FOR THE RANGERS THIS SEASON”…
HOWEVER BROOKS DOES NOT NAME HIS SOURCES…ONLY THAT THEY ARE…QUOTE…”WELL CONNECTED”…
ACCORDING TO BROOKS THE RANGERS PLAN TO PLAY SUNDIN ON A LINE WITH MARKUS NASLUND AND NIKOLAI ZHERDEV…
THERE’S JUST ONE LITTLE PROBLEM…
THE RANGERS HAVE ONLY ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS IN CAP SPACE…
THEIR TWO TOP CENTERS SCOTT GOMEZ AND CHRIS DRURY EACH MAKE OVER $ 7 MILLION A SEASON…BUT THEY BOTH HAVE NO TRADE CLAUSES…
IN THE SUMMER THE RANGERS SIGNED WADE REDDEN AND MICHAL ROZISVAL TO ANCHOR THEIR BLUELINE…
BOTH WERE UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS…AND BOTH GOT LONG TERM CONRACTS…
REDDEN WILL BE PAID $6.5 MILLION A SEASON…ROZISVAL WILL GET $5 MILLION…
SO UNLESS THE RANGERS ARE WILLING TO BLOW UP THEIR TEAM IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS…SUNDIN IS NOT GOING TO NEW YORK…
BROOKS ALSO CLAIMS HIS SOURCES TELL HIM…PHILADELPHIA IS SUNDIN’S SECOND CHOICE…
HOWEVER THE FLYERS HAVE MORE CAP PROBLEMS THAN THE RANGERS AND WILL HAVE TO DUMP AT LEAST A MILLION DOLLARS IN SALARY BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON…
THE STORY HAS ONE MORE TWIST…ACCORDING TO BROOKS…
SUNDIN HAS NO INTEREST IN PLAYING FOR THE CANUCKS…THE LEAFS OR THE CANADIANS…
THE AGENT FOR SUNDIN…J.P. BARRY DENIES ALL OF IT…
ACCORDING TO BARRY...MATS SUNDIN HAS STILL NOT DECIDED IF HE IS GOING TO PLAY THIS SEASON…AND THE TWO HAVE NOT EVEN DISCUSSED WHICH TEAM HE WANTS TO PLAY FOR…
IN THE MEANTIME BARRY NOW SAYS THERE ARE NOW JUST 5 TEAMS IN THE RUNNING…INCLUDING THE CANUCKS…
IF IT ALL FEELS LIKE YOU’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE…YOU’RE RIGHT…YOU HAVE…
SO UNTIL SUNDIN FINALLY MAKES UP HIS MIND…WE’LL ALL BE A LOT BETTER OFF SPENDING OUR TIME WATCHING BATMAN
