It pretty much came down to a selfish decision in terms of Ottawa has not won a Stanley Cup, a big priority for me. I didn't really see myself making a change if you would have asked me a week ago, but as we got closer to the start of the season thoughts started creeping in I've watched 21 years and they haven't won a Stanley Cup.
I feel that in Ottawa they are getting closer and closer and they have a really bright future in front of them, but at this point in my career there's not much left. I don't have the time to wait for that.
I just really like the way Detroit plays hockey. It's a possession game, a push-the-play game. The culture of Detroit really thrills me with what I've heard.
