Yeah he'll re-join the Leafs just in time for their Cup run....

Seriously though, I think he'll retire. Its obviously not about the money or he would have signed with Vancouver.

I'm no Habs fan, but they're a contender this year and he passed on the opportunity to win with them.

And for the Leafs, I can't think of any reasons for him wanting to return unless the gf like the shopping here.

I'm interested but will be working during the draft. I tried to "test my system" like it says on the home page of one of my other leagues using my blackberry but it didn't work. I'm going to try to figure out how to make it work and then I can give a definite answer. I'd rather not just pre-rank my players but I may have to go that route.

I just picked a time to be honest.

Another time might be better for everyone.. Once everyone is signed up we can find a good time for everyone..

The hockey drafts usually seem to go pretty quick if everyone shows up.

Thats fine. I have another draft later that night at 1130 but I'll be back in the office by then. If the draft time changes just post it here and I'll see it.

If worse comes to worse, I can just pre-rank. That way you guys might actually have a chance against me

If we could bump the draft time to maybe 9 that would be good too. But not too much later because I have another draft at 1130.

Just joined the league

If Sundin comes back mid season with anyone other than the Leafs it goes against everything he said last year about why he didn't want to be traded. He said he wanted to be with a team from start to finish. So my guess is that he either retires or joins the Leafs at some point.

If he joins another team he's basically screwing the Leafs and their fans of whatever they could have got for him at last years deadline and will officially be dead to me and the hopefully all Leaf fans.
