Trade Deadline '08 Update

As already published, Leafs captain Mats Sundin has been asked to waive his no-trade clause by Cliff Fletcher and was given the weekend to think about it. Mats' agent JP Barry spoke to the media yesterday at 3pm and said that Sundin will tell Fletcher his decision within the next 24 hours.

Bryan McCabe, who has also been handed an offer from another team by Fletcher, is supposed to make his decision today.

By 3 pm today, Fletcher will know whether Sundin is going, or he has decided to side with his no-trade provision, meaning we will know no later than Monday whats Sundin's decision is. Same goes with Caber.

Sundin's decision must come by today because the majority of the general managers around the league are awaiting where Sundin will go or if he will stay because many of the deals are waiting on the pretense of Sundin's decisions.

Eklund reported late last night that Sundin's list of teams is down to Anaheim, Detroit, and Montreal. The best deal would definitely be coming from Anaheim, but wouldn't it be nice to see him go to Montreal, and they get put out in the first round of the playoffs and then Sundin returns back to Toronto? Leafs fans would never forget it, and they would rip into Habs fans for it for the eternity of the rivalry.
