Not being able to bring Toronto a cup seems to bring him down in a lot of peoples eyes, but he didn't have much of a supporting cast for most of his years. Kinda like Iginla.

Please show me a season where Sundin was a Top Ten player...I'll save yu some time...there isn't one.
People throw around these labels far too easily.
Sundin had a great career...and he was amazingly consistent...certainly an elite player over an extended period of time...but Top 10 in the league??? Nope.
