    Why would he go for a one year deal? If he gets hurt then nothing is guaranteed, doesn’t make sense.

    He went for the one-year because the only reason he left the Pens is because he wants a Cup. If Detroit falters this season (highly unlikely) he has the option to move to a better team. And if they do win the Cup, he’s not tied down to staying with a team that will almost certainly not win three in a row. Two in a row is hard enough.

Got something to say?
