In the centre of the freakin' universe (thank god I don't live there), like there's not enough news from there already about whenever Darcy Tucker took a shit that day or not and how come the superstar Aki Berg isn't on the team anymore. Mats Sundin dropped a bomb on any future hope the team had left by saying he won't waive his no trade clause on Sunday night.

Here's my best and worst cases.

Best case, the leafs would have gotten a lot for Sundin in a trade, likely a 1st round pick in this year's draft, a top notch prospect, a young NHL player and maybe more. Mats goes to the playoffs and finishes the year with a bang, waits until July 1st and signs back on with Leafs for 1 year and then again gets trade once again at next year's deadline and the Leafs get what they want and just like last time Sundin signs with the Leafs to a deal that will see him retire as a Leaf.

Worst case, Sundin pulls what Carlos Delgado did for the freakin' Blue Jays, didn't waive his NTC to give the Jays what they needed at the time, some nice good prospects, and then only "consider" the Jays' offer to get more money from the bidders.

My personal feelings on this I don't feel sorry for Leafs nation one bit, they brought this on themselves to some degree but I will say Good Luck Toronto, you will need it from now on. With Sundin, along with Darcy Tucker, Tomas Kaberle, Pavel "useless' Kubina will say no to waiving their no trade clause now. The Leafs screwed themselves and it won't be fixed until the head office is cleared out.



P.S. this isn't former Leafs' GM John Ferguson Jr.'s fault, he was told what to do and hand out those No Trade Clauses because he wasn't able to do what he wanted from the start and that is a big surprise, REBUILD, 3 years too late Toronto. Have fun sucking for another 40 years.

One more thing, I hope Mats Sudin signs elsewhere come July 1st, just to see what a big mistake the entire head office has done for all those years.
