I think some of you need to do some serious traveling in the US.
Calgary is much better than 90% of the big cities there, including Columbus. It's clear that Gaudreau and his agent overplayed their hand and didn't want to go crawling back to Calgary with their tail between their legs. So they took the next best offer.
Yes Columbus is much closer to the Philadelphia area than Calgary. But I wouldn't say it's close enough to see family every weekend or whatever. A 2-hour flight, including security and baggage claim, etc. is not much better than a 4-hour flight.
