I like the direction the team was going. I like a lot of their young talent.

The place I'm going to [in Arizona] has a team of coaches and people who come there and know what they want to improve on. Together, we know what we need to work on and we do pretty much everything. Weights ... cardio ... anything you can name.

It doesn't matter what you've done in the past. You always have to prove you can play.

I like the direction this team is going in and I'm very happy to be part of it, ... I like what the Blackhawks have done in the last five days and I like the challenge. Winning the Stanley Cup felt so good, I want to do it again.

The Blackhawks had the best offer. They have some young talent. I've won the Stanley Cup and I want to do it again.

It was a perfect storm of talent, personalities, direction, goals and dominance.
