Modano: ‘It’s totally up to me’

Mike Modano spoke to ESPN’s Richard Durrett about his meeting with the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. Here’s an excerpt:

“It’s totally up to me,” said Modano, 40, who was told by the Dallas Stars last month that they were moving forward without him. “We talked about my situation, what it would be, how I would fit in and the logistics of it all. It was good. We talked about playing at home and having a chance to go deep in the playoffs. I have to figure out what I want to do still. They haven’t pressured me into making a decision. But I know the sooner the better for everybody so they can get their financial situation resolved and figured out.”

Modano said he still doesn’t know what he wants to do and will take a few more days to sort it out. He said he wasn’t sure what other teams may call, but at this point “it seems like Detroit or retirement, but we’ll see.”
