Sundin On The Block?

Many sites and newspapers have recently been reporting Mats Sundin may be considering waiving his no-trade clause despite his constant denial of wanting to leave the greater Toronto area. It is yet to be seen if Sundin actually would waive his contract but with the recent play of the Maple Leafs he may change his mind even with his incredible season so far. It is believed that the Detroit Red Wings will be the frontrunners if he does decide to test the waters so he could join many of his Swedish linemates. One would assume the interest would pick up when and if Forsberg either joins a team or decides not to return to the NHL this season. The Red Wings lost a key prospect last year in the acquisition of Todd Bertuzzi in that of Shawn Matthias so they may drop out of the running altogether despite all of the speculation -- once bitten, twice shy.
