Instead of getting a first round compensatory pick (late pick 26-32) for him next season, I'm willing to move Mats to a team this season for the best possible pick I can get. Make all offers to me at njkopsack@yahoo.com
Mats has decided to test the free agent market so this move would be to a team not interested in their particular pick this season but would be interested in moving to a pick in next season's Entry Draft.
Thank you.

In other words.....Nate is willing to take a good, solid pick this season if you would like the reward for waiting on a first round pick next year. I simply can't negotiate with that man, I tell you what  Sundin will sign a contract after the open free agency period begins, he will not sign one until he tables offers from several teams. |

The Columbus Bluejackets are sad to hear that Mats will not negotiate prior to free agency, we would have loved to have had an opportunity to nab him before then.

I think it will make for a more exciting UFA period if players that are UFA do not negotiate with the teams they are traded to.
Just my 2 cents!

GMs are beginning to undestand that it doesn't pay to do it that way (because you so severely overpay it is an instant liability).
The agents also realize that unless the offer is ridiculous, why should our clients take themselves out of the market and deprive them of the most money possible?
It doesn't. There's going to be a large crop of UFAs this season. The agents agree.
