People may choose to disagree with me here, but I never really agreed with the notion that a city or franchise 'owes' anything to a player. I keep hearing "Sundin deserves to take his time, Sundin did so much for Toronto and the Leafs" etc. These are pro athletes who (in Sundin's case) get paid millions of dollars a year. The people of Toronto don't owe him anything.

I disagree.
He wanted no trade clause, and he signed contract saying no trade.
They treated him like shit and so did fans. So why the hell does he want to risk playing his last season with the condition he was in if it didn't feel right to him. Plus, if we didn't treat him like shit, he'd most likely be back in blue n white.
Also its not like Sundin was only one Blake, Tucker, Kaberle and McCabe all had same contract and all refused also, no reason to pick on Sundin when he deserved to stay the most.
Sundin is amazing and future hall of famer for sure.
