Mats Sundin

Scouting Report

Sundin is considered to be one of the NHL's elite pivots, combining point production, his overwhelming size and strength, quiet but capable leadership abilities, and a fair amount of grit to his all-around game. Sometimes criticised by the Toronto media for what appears to be a lackluster attitude to the game, he has never led his team to the Stanley Cup. Mats is nonetheless respected around the NHL as one of the best leaders in the game. Sundin is also one of the highest paid players in the league and earned $9 million (U.S) during the 2003-04 NHL regular-season.
