Free agent forward Mats Sundin met with Anaheim Ducks Brian Burke on Tuesday evening.
The Ducks are one of several NHL clubs interested in the services of the 37-year-old.
Sources tell TSN Burke expressed his interest in bringing Sundin into the fold and explained how competitively he believes the Ducks are a Stanley Cup contender.
The informal meeting lasted for about one hour.
Signing Sundin would likely mean the Ducks would likely need to shed salary as they remain up-against the NHL's salary cap. They dealt defenceman Mathieu Schneider to the Atlanta Thrashers in order to free-up space earlier this season.
The Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks, New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens and potentially the Chicago Blackhawks are all interested in adding Sundin.
Sundin had 32 goals and 46 assists with a plus-17 rating over his 74 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2008.
