20 Million Reasons to come to the West

The threat of retirement is not standing in the way of NHL teams taking a hard run at free agent forward Mats Sundin.

Sources tell TSN as many as four teams have tabled offers for the 37 year old, including the Vancouver Canucks, who have offered a whopping $10 million per year on a two-year contract.

Sources tell TSN the Canucks offer includes a $5 million signing bonus, plus $5 million to play in 2008-09. There would be $5 million due on July 1, 2009 and another $5 million to play in 2009-2010.

Sundin is said to be flattered by the offer, however he continues to absorb interest from a number of teams and hasn't yet decided as to whether he will play or not next season.

Sundin scored 32 goals and 46 assists for 78 points in 74 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. It was his best offensive season since 2001-2002 when he notched 80 points.

Sundin, who has 1321 points in 1305 career NHL games, has been with the Maple Leafs since 1994.
