You can't say that definitively. You just finished defending why we can't definitively say Laviolette won't pick Dallas or San Jose over Calgary. That same logic applies here.
Edit ie if Laviolette is looking at intangibles when picking a new coaching destination, how is an FA or someone asked to waive a NTC not doing the same thing when choosing? Reputation does matter. Just my two cents. I mean even with Neal, he asked Commodore his opinion before signing... are they likely to still recommend the Flames if the city comes across like a bunch of pretentious a holes I don't.
