It's a huge decision for both of them. New/first child for the parents, he would be travelling for 3 months of baby's 1st year. Having grandparents around for that is a pretty big plus.
So unless money is the major consideration for JG and wife, the ability to be back near home is kind of a large lure. Considering he is going to get paid no matter where he signs, it really does seem likely he could leave just based on geography and family ties.
That is not to say he doesn't love Calgary and his situation here and with the team, but ALL factors have to be given the same weight simply because we do not know what he thinks is most important to him.
Im sure its time for the "youre a troll" stuff to come my way because im not waving pom poms with Flames red colored glasses on, but really it only makes sense.

I think that take is perfectly logical. It’s the emotional rants that Treliving should be fired because Johnny makes a lifestyle decision that seem out of whack.
Maybe the GM did explore signing Johnny last year as well as trading Johnny last year and neither option was better than just seeing how the season could go. Treliving did say in his press conference that the team needs a shake up. It seemed like a tough trade market last year. I would rather him hold off.
Also we just witnessed one of the best single season performances in Flames history. I’m sure that Treliving and ownership are okay with that outcome, particularly if trade options weren’t all that enticing (just speculating).
If Johnny leaves money on the table and chooses lifestyle then no GM was going to fix that.
