"Coming in in the middle of the season it was definitely a big adjustment and when I came in obviously it's right in the season and you're so focused on playing hockey," Meier said Thursday. "For me the moment was after the season when I had the time to reflect on the time I had in Jersey and look at the team, look at the future of this team, the area, the fanbase, the management, all those things. That's the time when I had the time myself to think about everything and consider everything, and that's the time I realized I wanted to be and that's the place I want to win a Stanley Cup."
