Since the season ended, I've let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don't want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly.

I mean, the best thing for my knee, for anyone's knee, is to never play again and retire. But I'm not going to do that.

When it gets to this point, it's just hard to pull the trigger.

I've been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don't think I've ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I've ever hit.

I knew if I wanted to be a general manager, I was going to have to leave to work for another organization.

Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings.

It's been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I'm far from perfect, but I learned a lot.
