- Playing near home without the scrutiny
- Uncle is/was a local star with the lacrosse team
- Up and coming roster
- Will draft 1OA and get elite defenseman
- Buffalo willing to spend big $$$
This references it, but doesn't have all the quotes from Miller

Calgary gave him the highest offer, or at least was tied (after Tanguay's injuries his offers were skimpy). No doubt Iginla was part of the decision, but I don't think he was the main part. After all, Tanguay had previously requested a trade out of Calgary.
