"I guess when [the demotion] first happened I felt a little [upset] at the situation. You almost want to put blame on someone or just get [mad] at certain individuals, but I came to realize that it’s now how I should be handling it. In reality, I should have played better, if you will. You have to play good enough so that they can’t get rid of you. So it was a tough situation, but you kind of have to make the most out of it. I went down and I was still playing great hockey in the American Hockey League. Obviously that’s not where I want to be. I want to play in the NHL. That was the bottom line, and I feel like I can help any team. So I’m really excited to get this opportunity. There was a situation with Philadelphia, but I’ve been [there] for six years, going on seven, and I’ve loved every minute of it. But I’m now looking forward to my opportunity in L.A."
