Wellwood is on waivers. hmmmm...

Yesterday Mats agent said in the Toronto Sun vie email

"I have said all along I personally believe that Mats will play in the NHL this season....Of course, I have the benefit of looking him in the eyes every few weeks when we get together to discuss the future. From experience, I know the look of the eyes of a player who is retiring. That's not what I see with Mats."

So who is still interested?

No question it is a four team race between the NY Rangers, Canadiens, Canucks and Senators...

Other sources are also adding Philadelphia and Colorado...

In the end, and this is just my own speculation, I still believe Mats still could very much return to the Leafs...

Many of you will ask about cap space, and rightfully so.

I have always maintained the same stance when it comes to Cap Space. Teams have shown us time and time again that when they want to do something they can find a way.

Mike Comrie to the Hawks (e2)

Sources are telling me that the Blackhawks continuing search for a second line center may have led to discussions regarding Mike Comrie who has been sort of stuck on the third line on the Island...




UPDATED Sundin:

A source connected to this situation has informed me that he was told that the Canucks are the team that has made the most concerted continual effort to show Mats that they are still interested..."Since late June the belief has been that Mats wants nothing to do with the travel in the West, but yesterday I was told that Mats may be shifting his tune due in large part to the Canucks play and style so far."
