I don't think Calgary will be his best option to win, I think it will be one of some similar options to win, with some options being really close to home.
Remember the comparison right now on Johnny's side in terms of chances to win isn't 'last year's Flames vs where other teams are at currently' it's
Last year's Flames minus Gaudreau vs others teams minus Gaudreau. He's the superstar that gets plugged into the equation of any team he joins including the Flames now. So you can't simply say "The Flames were a really good playoff team with Gaudreau so why would he go to a team that wasn't as good as the Flames?".
He'll be having that same effect on the team he joins that was a huge reason why the Flames were as successful as they were this season.
