Like ComixZone said, the difference between winning and not is razor thin. As a player, you're looking for a team that is trying to win, has good players, and looks to be a good fit for you.
All of those things are met with Calgary, plus he has other ties to make it attractive.

Look at the roster we just played with and look at how close we got to winning these games. Put Hall into the depth. So, say put Hall in Lucic's spot and put Lucic is Jankowski/Rinaldo's spot. We win that series.
Tough to view it that way as you can't manage your team in isolation without looking at how other teams improve themselves, but the painful truth is this team as it is just isn't that far off.
I still don't think "blowing it up" is a bad approach - as I think Tree pooched this rebuild with impatience, but we are where we are and I'm not sure we can count on Tree taking apart the team he has built over 6 years.
