Sundin trying to avoid a ‘Favre-like mistake’
The chances of seeing Mats Sundin back with an NHL team anytime soon remains remote as his agent JP Barry told TSN that his client "isn’t close" to making a decision on his playing future. Reports circulated that Sundin was set to make a decision on August 1st, however that deadline passed without a word from the Sundin camp.
It has been widely speculated that Sundin would play this season, it was just a matter of where, however Barry says Sundin is still strongly considering hanging up the skates for good.
"The longer it takes, who knows? He is deciding whether its time to retire or not," Barry told TSN.
When asked to compare Sundin’s indecision to that of Green Bay Packers‘ quarterback Brett Favre, who recently changed his mind about retirement and was reinstated by the NFL on Monday, Barry added, "He’s avoiding a Favre-like mistake by taking his time."
