No Sundin?

The Canucks - right or wrong - made a serious pitch to get unrestricted free agent Mat Sundin. a 2 year 20 million dollar contract offer - wow!  Apparently Mat Sundin is not sure if he is going to play hockey next year.  Apparently he has too much money or some other amazing reason that he has not communicated yet.  He needs more time! What? More time? 20 million dollars / 164 games is $121,951 per game/ 21 minutes playing time = $5807.20 per minute of playing time. That's more than I make in an hour.

With 300 million dollars committed to players yesterday, it sure gives pause to think. What does our society value? We spend millions for entertainment, yet there are still some huge needs in the world. I'm all for entertainment (Go Lions, Go Canucks), but sometimes I think things are just a wee bit outta whack. 

What do you think? Not just about money spent on hockey, but on our value placement seen through where we (as a culture) place our money?
