Basically, the Montreal Canadiens had an offer for him on the table, but he made the decision to try his luck with the Boston Bruins because he had better chances of earning a regular spot in the NHL there.

He made his decision believing that his best chances of playing in the NHL were in Boston, due to the many young players who will join the Rocket this season.
