We often get too big for our britches and this is exactly one of those times. Tavares has no tie to Calgary and likely would, like any sane person, pick somewhere warm with a beach over snowy and cold any day

Those are only a few of the factors someone his age may value. Don't know his exact family situation but it's not hard to imagine a Canadian guy would rather raise kids in Canada vs Trumpland. Gun violence is way higher in America. Racial tensions seem to be way higher in America. America itself seems to be going down the toilet with the Trump administration as their environmental policy has gone backwards as has their legislation in many areas. I'd rather live in Canada myself despite the snow.
Does Tavares have an American wife? A Canadian wife? Is he single? I don't care enough to research it but that by itself may play the biggest factor. You think beaches and lack of snow makes the greatest place to live. Well a guy starting a family with his wife will prioritize schools, standard of living, culture, etc over that. If he has an American wife his chances of staying in the US are much higher. If he has a Canadian wife I'd say his chances of returning to Canada would be much higher. If he's a single guy then he may use some of the factors you think are important.
But yeah if Tavares has a Canadian wife and they're looking to make a family somewhere its not hard to imagine they may want to return to the Motherland.
