Thomas Vanek says he's considering a few NHL options, including waiting on the #redwings. "I've got to make up my mind sooner than later"

Vanek: "this is something I've never been through. Usually I went early, so this is different. After the first week, I knew this would drag"

Vanek: "I've had a good summer. I've prepared myself like I'm going to play, which most likely I am."
