With all the sundin rumours coming here.. i thought id do a bit of reasearch
Personally i hate the idea of sundin coming here.. Sundins a good player and all.. but 20 million? yeha right
plus hes gonna be the least motivated and outshape hes ever been in his career... the rough travel wont help either
sooo i decided id do a bit of comparision with the other bald guy everybody loves...
Sundin was born a decade after good ol Mark
Sundin was drafted 10 years after Mark, both drafted by a canadian team
Sundin signing to Vancouver would happen exactly 10 seasons after Messier signs with the canucks
Both have played for 2 different teams prior to joining the canucks (Mats- Leafs+Nordiques, Messier- Oil+Rangers)
Both were captains for the teams they were on prior to signing
Sundin is 37 if he signs, Mark messier was 36 going on 37
Sundins point totals for 3 seasons prior= 232, Messier= 236
Both were offered captaincy of the canucks, if htey chose to sign
Both had most successful years with a canadian team
Messier came from east to west, as would sundin
Sundin would come in to vancouver after pplaying 17 NHL seasons, Messier came in with 18, if you count lockout, both are 18
Both are not exactly Hair Models |

I don't imagine he would be offered the C. I'm a believer that you should reward the players that have stuck with the organization through out the ups and downs and their voice will be a lot more powerful in the locker room.

He was not. Gillis said on Team1040 that he has not offered Sundin captaincy but it might be something to consider.
Willie Mitchell 4 captain plz.

Hopefully Sundin doesn't have a change of mind about retiring (if the reports from Sweden are true), signs with a couple weeks until training camp and shows up out of shape. This will be the worst case scenario for the Canucks.

Sundin may still lead but he wont wear the C.

This whole thing is a fuckin joke, how can you not know if you're going to play or not? You either do or don't know... exactly what Yzerman and other guys said... if you're done you KNOW you're done, you're at peace with it the second the 3rd period buzzer goes on the last game of your last season.
If he's not training or anything, it's too late even NOW to start that crap for the start of the season besides the fact this whole non-decision thing has gotten past ridiculous.

^ so thats what really happened??
i think i was probably too young back then probably gr4 or 5
to really know or care what goes on in the background
I thought Linden just gave it up cause he felt it was the right thing to do
or at least the media made it look that way can't really remember
I just liked to watched hockey especially when Bure was playing

Before playing the season, Messier was given the team captaincy, by Trevor Linden.
| But I wouldn't be surprised if Messier did influence Linden's decision since he made the Canucks take Maki's #11 out of semi-retirement for him.

IMO, longevity aside, the sole criteria for captaincy are the impact players. The difference makers in a game.
Sundin is it (if he comes here). Mitchell, though a great defenceman, is not.
Despite Sundin being a forward, he is also a defensively responsible player. He can most definitely lead a team on the offensive end, and on the defensive end as well. Mitchell only shines on his own end of the rink. In the offensive end, Mitchell is almost a non-threat.
