time after time, I hear people say this... but time after time, it's Sundin scoring the winning goal...

so why the big push to get rid of him?

Don't ask me, frankly I think Sundin is about the only attractive thing that the Leafs have as a team to try and lure free agents here.

Trade Sundin away and short of getting back either Crosby, Nash or Ovechkin in exchange Toronto becomes a dead zone worse than even Edmonton allegedly is IMO.

No, keep Sundin, sign him to a two year deal and pump his mojo into getting us some free agent talent come July...

As for comparing him to other Leafs captains, that's hardly fair, each sucessful captain of the Maple Leafs, suceeded because they excelled in different areas... Wendel scoring like Sundin? -pfft- not likely. Gilmour fighting like Wendel? -pfft- as if...

No, IMO, each sucessful captain had/has their niche and works it...

The unwashed masses who are Leaf fans compare Sundin to Gilmore and Clark, and don't see the strengths that Sundin brought. Personally, I think he's done a good job, considering all the junk he's had to play with. Besides, one guy can't win the Cup for you
