Leafs give Habs OK to talk to Sundin:

Here those Toronto fans slaver and snarl.... Good deal for the Habs to get Sundin, he's a great player, they need more strength at centre and he's big and strong behind the net. The impact player they're looking for.

But the Habs with all those good young prospects, exactly what the Leafs need to build on, and not a one of them Toronto-bound.... that's gotta hurt.

Well if the Habs are able to sign him then the Leafs will get some form of compensation - though likely nothing more than a 3rd or 4th rounder (i.e. they'll have to trade his rights to the Habs). I'll reserve further comment on Mats until we see how this all shakes out though.

Lots of other majors dealings so far tonight. Jokinen to the Coyotes, Cammalleri to the Flames, Tanguay to the Habs, and Umberger to the Jackets. And a nice move by the Leafs to jump up two spots to pick Luke Schenn. :thumb:
