I wonder if this bodes well for getting Sundin back on the ice in Toronto:
The Toronto Maple Leafs are moving closer to signing Swedish defenceman Jonas Frogren, a mainstay of the Tre Konor national team.
"It hasn't happened yet, but it will happen," one insider close to the deal told thestar.com today.
Frogen, a 6-1, 200-pound stay-at-home defenceman negotatiated his release from Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League. He told the Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, that he would soon sign with the Maple Leafs.
"I'm pleased to pursue my dream," said Frogren...
Frogren, 27, has played nine seasons with Farjestads. Frogren is expected to make the Leafs, giving the team nine bluliners under contract: Tomas Kaberle, Pavel Kubina, Bryan McCabe, Anton Stralman, Jeff Finger, Staffan Kronwall, Carlo Colaiacovo, Ian White and Frogren. Rookie prospect Luke Schenn, the Leafs' No. 1 pick in the draft last month, is also expected to have a shot at making the team.

sound like the leafs have to cut a couple of d-men. Personally, I think Sundin will play one more year in Toronto and then retire. Also, why would vancouver want him. He won't save the day in B.C. They might win a playoff round with Sundin but even that is questionable. I think his reluctance to make a decision means either he'll retire or stay with the leafs.

I totally agree.

I agree, and as much as I hate to say it, I think he's more likely to walk away at this point.

yeah - it's the length of time he is taking to decide - every day, he seems more hesitant - less eager.
