While teams make a final push to sign Mats Sundin, the former Maple Leafs Captain is expected to finally make his decision by Christmas. (Don't hold your breath)
While the NY Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks appear to be the favorites to land the Swede, other teams that are interested include Montreal, Ottawa, Chicago and Philly.
If Sundin lands anywhere other than Vancouver, we may see some big trades as teams attempt to clear cap room. Let's not forget that next year's draft is supposed to be stacked so teams that are looking to rebuild may be willing to let go of some big names to get a high draft pick. Some players that are rumored to be traded soon include:
Ilya Kovalchuck (Atlanta)
Jay Bouwmeester (Florida)
Marion Gaborik (Minnesota)
Tomas Kaberle and Pavel Kubina (Toronto)
Michael Nylander (Washington)
Mattias Ohlund (Vancouver)
Martin Havlat (Chicago)
