Honestly I don't see Sundin coming to Vancouver with a few weeks left until training camp but who knows, anything can happen.

He hasn't put a lot of time keeping himself conditioned through the off-season and coupled with the fact that his passion/determination in hockey is something I question right now.

VANCOUVER - When Vancouver Canuck fans get their first look at goalie Curtis Sanford next season, some of them just might be repeating that famous line from The Lone Ranger and asking 'who is that masked man?'
Sanford, who is returning for his second year as Roberto Luongo's backup, will be sporting a different look this season.
Sanford and the rest of us will learn just how different that look will be in about two weeks.
Sanford has agreed to let the fans design his mask's artwork. In fact, Sanford said Monday that the design contest announced earlier in the day by the Canucks was his idea.
"At the end of last season I mentioned it as an idea to someone in the organization," Sanford said from his summer home in Owen Sound, Ont. "We just kind of felt that in a city like Vancouver the response would be huge and I hope it will be."
The Canucks have invited fans to submit an artistic rendering for Sanford's mask by Monday, Aug. 25. To enter the contest, head to canucks.com and click on the "Design Your Mask' button.
Sanford said he's anxious to see what the fans produce and is confident there will be a number of excellent designs to choose from.
"I think everyone in the organization is anxious to see what people come up with," Sanford said. "It's a neat concept. I don't think it's ever been done in the NHL before and I think we're going to see some pretty cool designs."
Although many goalies design their masks to make some sort of personal statement, Sanford said he has no problem turning his over to the fans. Besides, he said it is time for a change.
Sanford has had the same basic design on his mask for the past five years. It was based on the Sandman nickname he picked up in the minors.
His mask has featured a character that could be best described as a cross between the Gandalf wizard in Lord of the Rings and rock star Johnny Winter.
"I have been wearing the design I have now for the last five years," he said. "I'm not a guy who is superstitious about what is on my mask or what colour my pads are. I just go with it."
Sanford figures to have the final say on the winning design.
"I don't think I will be the solitary judge, but when it comes down to it, I imagine I'll have a pretty good say," he said. "Obviously, the best design is going to win, the one that we feel is going to best fit our team and the city of Vancouver."
The contest winner will also receive an autographed Sanford jersey and a meet-and-greet with the Canuck goalie.

His stats are already on the decline albeit he never really fit well in Minny.

He gets a million dollars for every 10 points he scores in a season.
Sounds like a promising player.

That was the original trade which moved Luongo from the Islanders to Florida (right after Islanders drafted Dipeitro)

I have a feeling Sundin's just gonna ride out the time.
the puck drops in october, and Sundin's still gonna have no official announcment.
Basically the unofficial retired player.
I mean deciding which team to play for could take a bit of thinking, but whether to play or retire, shouldn't take so long to decide.

Safe to say that Sundin is not coming to Vancouver.
I think it’s time to look at the players we have seeing how training camp is fast approaching us. And the more I look at our current roster the more I can't start to think that this team might actually work and be pretty good. No one can predict what team will come out on top but I think getting rid of a few players will give the rest of the players a fresh start and give the team a fresh look.
