Brett Favre - Er, Mats Sundin - Still Hasn't Made Up His Mind

Perhaps the Rangers haven't figured out how they're going to clear that cap space yet. Or maybe Mats Sundin is genuinely conflicted.

Either way, it's Thursday, and Sundin still hasn't made up his mind.

J.P. Barry told TSN's Darren Dreger on AM 640 Toronto radio on Wednesday that Sundin's decision to play for the Canucks, the New York Rangers or to retire would come tomorrow at the earliest - but might not be forthcoming until the weekend.

Barry also said he didn't know what the 17-year-veteran and longtime Toronto Maple Leaf captain's answer will be.

"He's going back and forth right now," Barry said, "That's the truth. I'd gladly take a lie detector test - I don't know."

After going through the Favre retirement drama the last 15 years or so, I can only sympathize with Rangers and Maple Leafs fans.

And for what? A 37-year-old who thinks he can just walk in the door, flip a switch, and play at the same level he played at for many years? Hardly a safe bet in my view, but this isn't my money being spent.

TSN says Sundin's decision is still expected by Christmas.

Of course, anyone who has followed Favre knows that even the strictest of timelines can be ignored.
