Money doesn't solve every problem, but IMO it's generally at the top of the player's list when considering contract offers in the NHL.
In JG's case I'm not sure, however, that the Flames can offer a lot more money than competitors anyway, especially considering taxes in some locations. So if they can't beat other offers and maybe only tie them, then the other stuff certainly becomes an issue.
