If we sign Sundin to the rumoured 2 mill contract then you're going to see a guy like Demitra/Bieksa or package of players totally 4-5 mill shipped out.

also, if shroeder shows up at a pro camp, he can't go back to the ncaa.
OR if he signs a pro contract, obviously he loses eligibility.

For the nhl heads in this thread, what is the penalty if we proceed with $$ over the salary cap ? I know for the NBA and MLB, you pay a luxury tax.

| http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=290674 DREGER: SUNDIN NOT NEGOTIATING WITH ANY TEAM
Painfully, the speculation as to where Mats Sundin will play this season and for how much has started.
Well, here's a news flash, the odds of Sundin playing at all are very slim.
Retirement is a safer bet than Sundin resigning with the Vancouver Canucks, or any other NHL team.
JP Barry, Sundin's agent responded to a report Sundin is in negotiation with the Canucks with a strong denial.
"There have been zero negotiations with Vancouver or any team for that matter," Barry told TSN.
"Mats just returned from his honeymoon and hasn't made any final decisions about resuming his career," Barry concluded.
However, until the 38 year old newlywed announces his retirement teams will continue to call and the speculation as to where he might land will be endless.

I can't remember a time where we have so many players capable of fighting for a roster spot this year in a very long time. In previous years it seemed like you knew who was going to make the time and we had 'just' enough. It'll be really interesting to see who gets shoved to the minors.

The reason Detroit is so successful is they have so many great veterans showing the newbies the ropes. Imagine Sundin tutoring Hodgson.
Chances are Sundin will get injured a few games here and there too.
