Mats Sundin's agent claims that the Flyers are among six NHL teams interested in acquiring the Maple Leafs center, according to a report in The Philadelphia Daily News. Agent J.P. Barry told TSN that the Rangers, Maple Leafs, Canucks, and two teams he did not name also are interested in the 37-year-old Swedish center.

Citing undisclosed sources, TSN of Canada reported Thursday that the Maple Leafs have a deal in place that will send the defenseman Bryan McCabe to the Panthers. McCabe has a no-trade clause in his contract, but it is anticipated he will waive it once he receives the $2 million signing bonus owed to him by Toronto, TSN reported. The Maple Leafs are expected to make the payment on September 1.
