Were I a millionaire, you'd have to pay more than double to get me to move from New York to Calgary.

There has to be significant incentive for him to want to change things up. Maybe there is that significant incentive, but, it is foolish to believe Shanahan is going to up and leave for a destination like Calgary to run a franchise like the Flames.
Overseeing one of the 30 NHL franchises in the entire world isn't incentive enough? I think a lot if people don't realize that this is an opportunity that doesn't come along very often even to people that have spent their lives working in hockey.
