NOW THEY HAVE SUNDIN. MATS SUNDIN, biggest signing in francise history (believe me on this).

Mats Sundin is the best player that will suit up for the Canucks since....Pavel Bure.

What's with the jelousy????

People keep saying his classless.. greedy.... you guys don't know mats. How is he greedy? Gillis offered him the 10 million, he even gave vancouver a discount. The reason he didn't want to be a rental last year was because he was thinking of retirement.

Now his back with the canucks......And The Canucks have a legitimite 1st line centre. And guess what??? Flames still don't have one

Hahaha I take it you forgot we have Cammy who can centre or play wing as well. We have no lack of skill vs Canucks. Happy trolling though!

personally I considered Henrik Sedin a 1st line center as well as Daymond Langkow (well maybe not this year lol) & Mike Cammalleri... One could even say the Flames have two #2 centers in Conroy and Lombardi (although I would say both are high end #3 centers)... the only problem for the Flames is because of Lombardi and Conroy they usually play Cammalleri on the wing

Sundin is not comparable to Langkow. You should stop.

Sundin is one of those players who will make it work no matter who he's playing with, you might be able to throw him on the 4th line and get similar point totals as his in TO, Langkow is not. Sundin's totals might be a little higher with the Canucks but I doubt it.

Okay, an exaggeration but it's not how Sundin's season as a Canuck compares to his seasons in Toronto, it'll be the impact he makes on the team, which will be big even if he doesn't perform as expected.
