When having a baby, usually the wife wants to be close to her parents and not the other way around. Leaving Calgary because of this strikes me as pretty odd for a first time parent. For this reason alone, I still don't buy the argument that this was only about family.
It was surely part of the equation, but I still personally get the feeling that he's not confident in the franchise given the track record since he's been here. Perhaps he wasn't pleased about not being able to hammer something out last year to avoid all the contract drama (he's a private guy) and this possibly soured the relationship. Purely speculating.
