He wasn't going to be satisfied being on a one-year transition tender. Obviously, Minnesota made a very strong offer for him.

Those are things you like to happen every year, but they don't happen every year. Obviously, it hasn't happened since. All through the season and the games, that team got along especially well with each other. That carried over in life and in reality has gotten much stronger.
