Sundin to have surgery? 

Post#1 » by Crowned » Tue May 1, 2007 7:38 pm

Toronto Sun - According to a source in the medical community, Mats Sundin needs surgery almost immediately to repair a hip problem, complicating his still-to-be determined contractual status with the Leafs.



The hip trouble and surgery is similar, the source says, to the operation that all but ended Alexander Mogilny's career as an NHL player at the age of 37.



The injury needs to be assessed before any further contract negotiations take place. If not, then just pick up his option and see how he does.

I was wondering when somebody would start this thread. I think that the writer is wrong and that Sundin will only need minor surgery.

yeah, his agent doesn't seem very pleased at the moment.


"Does Mats Sundin's medical file include a history of hip discomfort? Yes, " Barry said. "But, I can assure you it doesn't require surgery, certainly not to the degree alleged in the report."
