Because there really was no good reason for him to leave and refuse the offer the Flames gave him, other than maybe going home to play where his family and friends live. Turns out that was a bunch of hooey. He didn't leave for money reasons either, and he clearly didn't leave to go somewhere that had a better shot at winning a cup. So the only remaining explanation is he just simply did not like the city or team for some reason (comment removed)
