On whether he was a fan of the Leafs growing up and if it factored into the decision:
They were. Growing up in Toronto, I don’t think there were too many kids who were not. It gives me a great chance to play on a very strong team and have a chance to win near the end of my career. It’s also just a great opportunity, I think. After talking to the team, I liked the way things sounded. It’s really exciting just to play on a team that’s good.
On whether winning was priority number one:
For sure.
