Toronto was the only team I thought could pull him away because of how huge hockey is there, plus Toronto is a pretty cool city and area which really matters to his wife ... or so I've heard. The word was they were out of the running a couple of weeks ago, though. He's a good guy and a great coach, but that is a lot of money... and so we move on.
