On Tuesday, the big swede told reporters he wasn’t sure when he would play his first game for the Canucks. He has been skating and practicing for a week with his new teams. He is leaving it up to the coaches to make the descision.
He has been sitting since December and commenting on the strange feeling, “It’s a different feeling for sure. It’s nice to be back on the ice. I haven’t been in the locker room for nine months, and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to get back on the ice, to continue my NHL career and play against the best players in the world,” Sundin said.
Mike Gillis headed the drive to sign Sundin for a contract that will pay him about $6 million US for the rest of this season. But my question is this, if he doesn’t play until the end of the month, thats 6 million for less than half a season of play. Sundin really got a good deal there. What do you think?

nope he should a sign with dallas stars
he would be play rite away
I wish Sundin had signed ANYWHERE but with the Canucks… the room has sucked since he joined, and the team has gone right downhill…
How can you blame the guys seeing a washed up “pro athlete” who is getting paid $150,000 a night for 15 minutes work and couldn’t even be bothered to get in game shape for the whole nine months it took him to reach his big decision and play again AND he was made out to be some kind of savior when he came here? If I were the guys I’d be pissed too.
The Canucks should trade Sundin to whoever else wants him for whatever they can get for him, get the room back the way it was and make some kind of desperate run for the playoffs… how sad that it will be another year we go nowhere because of this… as they say, be careful what you wish for you just might get it!
