So Spongebob MacKenzie thinks that Mats Sundin has all but decided to play for the Rangers.  Spongebob (a reknowned speculator) isn’t putting much faith in the Vancouver Canucks’ ability to sign Sundin.  I wouldn’t rule them out yet.

The Canucks already have a mega offer on the table for Mats Sundin at $10,000,000 for this season and another paycheque for next year as well.  The Canucks are a great team when Roberto Luongo is playing and Mats could provide the lift they need to battle with the big boys on a nightly basis.

Then there’s the whole cap-space thing to consider in New York.  The Rangers, as it stands right now, have about $5 million to offer to Sundin.  Unless they can turn a few magic tricks in the next day or two, Sundin will have to accept a butt load less to play in New York.

Speaking of Roberto Luongo, there is still no timetable for his return and GM Mike Gillis is still saying he’s “week-to-week”.  Well Mike, I’m a fantasy hockey whiz kid and I need him back now so why don’t you stop downplaying the severity so I can move forward.

I know I say this almost everyday, but the San Jose Sharks can’t lose!  A shootout win last night versus the L.A. Kings gives the Sharks a 25-3-2 record.  Unbeatable I tell ya.

On Tonight:   Chicago rolls into Edmonton to face the Oilers, who are 6-4 in their last ten games.  The Oil are coming off of a nice shutout win versus the Canucks on Saturday, and Chicago is near Pittsburghian in terms of their young talent.
