From TSN:

After six long months, the Mats Sundin saga is finally over as the unrestricted free agent has agreed to a contract with the Vancouver Canucks.

The signing ended months of rumours and speculation around the coveted centre, who was undecided on whether or not he would return to the National Hockey League for an 18th season.

Huge move for the Canucks.  This takes them from the middle of the Western Conference pack to arguably the 3rd slot behind San Jose and Detroit. Adding Sundin allows the team to have two scoring lines and a tremendous checking line.  Considering the team’s strong and tough defense, if Roberto Luongo comes back healthy, no one will want to play this team come playoff time.
