Written Option 1: 

I dont know if I would ever leave Team USA. I have been part of it since I joined way back in Season 54 in the WJC. It has been part of who I am. But if USA was forcing me to leave, then I would definitely be more than willing to transfer and play for another national team. There are several nations that are ran by great Fed Heads. But 2 stand out as probably favorites to join. France and Latvia. Both are ran by some great Heads, well at least France is. I have always liked Latvia's colors and players so I think it would be an easy fit. But honestly I think France would be my top choice. They have some really great players and some that I am very familiar with. But what I like most is that France is still relatively new in the IIHF world, at least in SHL. So joining a newer nation that is trying to make a statement that they belong or even that they are real contenders is something that I want to be part of.
