Doesn't necessarily need to be going back to the Philly/NY area but there are definitely lifestyle changes that come with playing in the US, especially in warmer, wealthier cities. I don't know how important that is to him.

Last we heard, he was recently married and his wife was working in nursing here in Calgary?

I agree that he would want to go to a winner.
