For what it's worth: Lightning contacts Sundin

Kind of fun to think about but even the person, who told said this and is close to the organization, admitted "it's a long shot," but the Lightning apparently contacted representatives for Mats Sundin.

Now, again, caution. It apparently was nothing more than a feeler. But Sundin is friends with newly signed Gary Roberts.

Asked about it, Roberts said only, "I made a call to him, let's leave it at that."

Man, wouldn't that be something? On the other hand, with Radim Vrbata coming to the team and all the other signings, at some point doesn't the Lightning just have to sit back and say, good job, and enjoy the view?
