No question. But he can't merely pick and choose so freely, since there is no guarantee that the top-job of his choice will be available when he wants it.

Of course he has, and he definitely has more control over his own fate than most aspiring future GMs, but without knowing precisely what he wants in a new job and for his family, it is really impossible to make judgements about what he might or might not do. My point in this is simply that if there happens to be an opening this year or next, we ought not discount Calgary as a destination for a quality general manager so quickly and out of hand.
