Sundin won’t waive NTC
I know this is major news on the trade front, so I just wanted to let all readers know that Sundin has made the decision that he will not waive his NTC.
His quotes from TSN:
“I have carefully considered the team’s request that I waive my no-trade clause. I have always believed I would finish my career as a Toronto Maple Leaf so the actual request was still a very difficult one for me to contemplate.”
“I have spoken to and listened to my family and those closest to me about this issue. In the end, there is no right decision in a situation like this one.”
“I cannot leave my teammates and join another NHL Club at this time. I have never believed in the concept of a rental player. It is my belief that winning the Stanley Cup is the greatest thing you can achieve in hockey but for me, in order to appreciate it you have to have been part of the entire journey and that means October through June. I hope everyone will understand and respect my decision.”
What do you all think?

Sad, sad, Sundin probably was torn over this, I can only imagine what he had to go through.
I think, personally, he should’ve waived it, he should’ve, by not waiving it, he only hurt his team, he can spare us all the BS about caring about what team he plays for (even if it’s true), what he should’ve though about is the team first, and himself second.
But that defies the purpose of the NTC, so this is a sticky emotional situation then.
Who knows, maybe he’ll change his mind…
