bzarcherMats Sundin has stated to the Leafs that he will not waive his NTC.
I've already heard a few people complain that he's "Costing the team" by not wanting to move.
Honestly, it's just another layer of the crap that Sundin's gotten from a certain section of the fanbase who will probably never forgive him for being the piece that came back to Toronto in exchange for sending Doug Gilmour out of town.
I think that you have to look at the fact that he's ready to retire, and he doesn't want to play his last games in a jersey he doesn't feel is his, with a bunch of guys who he doesn't know. He wants to go out with the guys he's been playing with for 15 years, in the city he loves, for the team he's played his heart out for.
"It's not in my heart to leave my teammates."
Who can really blame him for feeling that way?
