Don't get too excited about getting Sundin. How many times did we hear Hossa is coming, Briere is coming......this just seems to be another one of those scenarios.
Sundin is supposedly looking to stay in canada, and in the eastern conference if he returns. He has business interests in canada and doesn't want to do the western conference schedule. That being said, it's possible he goes to detroit, but I doubt it. Seems the odds are us, ottawa, toronto. Considering toronto has given his rights away, I doubt they are in the running. Also, why would the leafs give him to us if they could send the rights to detroit if he's more likely to sign there? I know it's hard to believe, but I think it's montreal or retire. Leafs offered him a contract, he refused because it did not include a NTC, so they gave the opportunity to us. Unless he takes a paycut and accepts a deal without a NTC, he's not going to Toronto.
I can't help but agree that it would be SWEET to see Sundin in a Habs uniform... just to rub it in. But as a hockey decision, for me, not at the price he's gonna command.
Sorry folks, I know I'm in the minority but I'm gonna be stressing in the opposite direction as most of you!
Hey Komi - that photo of Carbo looks kinda like Christ dontcha think?
Sorry. HIO deleted my account at some point and I can't find the old pic! I'm thinking this one doesn't help my credibility. Should change my name to psychodog or mutantdog.
Habs Inside/Out encourages lively debate, but there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding racism, profanity and behaviour that we deem to be offensive. We will, without warning, ban those who do not abide by this simple rule, so as to maximize the enjoyment of readers and participants of both sexes and all ages.

Sportsnet is also now reporting that the Rangers were granted negotiating rights even before the Habs....
That is false.
says who? They still have it up.
Well, then Fletcher must be a great liar, cause on TSN he said we have "exclusive" rights.
Fletcher or Sportsnet...who to believe.
Maybe the Rangers had it before and Sundin told them no flat out?

Leafs offered him a 1 year/7 million deal that included a NTC.
ur right, i made a mistake.
I'll see it to believe it if he comes to Montreal.
He'll probaby end up in Toronto or Detroit with his Swedish buddies Holmstromn and Zetterberg.
Let's not all be heartbroken if he doesn't end up in Montreal. His loss our gain!

Very sane post.
Question: if Mats DOES come to play, how long will it take for Cherry to start slamming him as another soft European player??
Who really cares what Cherry thinks? I can't remember the last time he was right about anything anyway.
True. I liked him before he started to go senile. that's awhile ago now.

Um, I think he looks more like Mary Magdelan, I am beside myself that you got your old creepy picture back Smartdog!

How about Doggie Darko?
LMAO
Thanks for reminding us of the number one reason to sign Sundin... the ability to rub it in the face of anyone we know from Toronto.
Ugh, I don't think I can visit this website until we find out Sundin's decision. If it doesn't happen, I'll be broken for the rest of the summer.
Um. This is kinda sad.
"Bye bye Philadelphia flyers" was pretty good, on the other hand.
