I said it before, but I took a job for WAAAAAAAY less money in a different city, and while I miss my family like crazy, they are only a plane ride away, and we and them make frequent trips back and forth. It'll simply come down to, what is best for him and his wife and future child/children. Whether that is being relatively close to family, or having some distance and still be able to get his family in town from time to time. My dad put it best when I moved away. When he immigrated at 18, it cost $2/min for a phone call and they didn't have facetime. Full stop.
That being said, it is a family decision. Would i prefer to be closer to home and with family? Absolutely, especially now that my son is 8 and misses his cousins. But for the last 6-7 years, we've thoroughly enjoyed our independence. That's nothing to say of Johnny's mentality. He will do what's right by his family. I personally want to see the page turned here, and will still happily cheer him on, whatever team he plays for. He "owes" us and Calgary nothing.
