Sundin denies signing with Canucks: Mats Sundin has denied rumors that he has accepted a two-year, $20 million offer from the Vancouver Canucks, saying he will make a decision on his future within weeks. The longtime Toronto Maple Leafs captain told Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet that other options remain on the table. "It's not at all true that I've signed for Vancouver. I haven't even decided whether I should keep playing hockey yet," Sundin was quoted as saying in an interview published Monday. Sundin, one of the top forwards still available on the NHL free-agent market, said he would make a decision on his future next month or as early as next week. "If I play it's going to be for the entire season. That means I would be there at the start, when the training camp begins," he said. (Updated 07/23/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Sundin called Vancouver's offer "flattering," but he also hasn't ruled out returning to the Maple Leafs. "Nothing has been ruled out. I got a very good offer from them, too, and also from Montreal," he said. "But Vancouver's contract was in a class of its own if you look at the money." Sundin, 37, said he feels strongly for Toronto after 13 seasons with the club. "It feels like home. But let's see. I haven't gotten as far as thinking about clubs yet," he said. Sundin scored 32 goals, added 46 assists and finished at plus-17 last season with Toronto. He blocked any midseason trades and decided to stay with Toronto, who failed to make the playoffs. Sundin, a 17-year veteran, has had 70-plus points for 12 straight seasons. Wherever he signs, he still can be a capable No. 2 Fantasy forward heading into 2008-09. (Updated 07/23/2008).
