Mats Sundin lyckades aldrig vinna Stanley Cup med Toronto Maple Leafs. Under hans sista säsong där försökte nära vännen Nicklas Lidström få honom till Detroit R

From Sundin's latest book:
"In the beginning of february when we were about to play Detroit. My friend Nicklas Lidström who was the captain of the Wings told me he would've love me to be traded to their team. It had been something me and Nicklas had talked about privately before. Lidström had won 3 cups by then and had never missed the playoff in his 17 years in Detroit. He knew better than anyone what it took to win, he knew I could contribute so the Wings could win again".
"Lidström called me. And I told him: 'You know what Lidas, I don't want to win the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings. I wanna win with the Toronto Maple Leafs', I wanted to keep fighting there. Even if I had a smaller role in the team. You got a no-movement clause for a reason. When you've played for so long other things matter. I wouldn't want to skate that trophy around anywhere else and thinking it should've been in Toronto.
