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.
Well I don't necessarily blame him for not wanting to be traded, it was in his contract and if anything that was just another John Ferguson blunder. My initial comment was meant in a more general sense. I just think that at some point you have to look at it at a professional level, you get paid to do a job, so do it. All other admiration etc. is just gravy.
