If you look at it from his point of view looking around at the age of the Wings top players he's probably looking at a team that won't be a serious cup contender for some time. Maybe he would like a new challenge on a team that has a lot of talent that has underperformed in the playoffs such as the Penguins, Sharks, or even Blues that could all be looking for new coaches in a year. Toronto with Shanahan could also be enticing as having success with the Leafs would make him loyalty in Ontario. I can't blame him for keeping his options open.
