We live in an age of league parity. Over a span of 7 seasons most teams don’t have wildly different records.

But isn't the point "there's a team that Johnny will want because they are going to be good with him"? And can't you say the same about Calgary, who also has a distinct goalie advantage (including Wolf). And also JG knows he has chemistry with Lindholm and Tkachuk (and also Monahan when he's healthy) versus just guessing with Hughes/Hischier. He also knows he has a Selke quality linemate in Lindholm.
