From his interviews it sounds like he has tons of friends on the blue jackets. He has already gotten the bag and spends half the season travelling for work anyways, which he now gets to do in the eastern conference instead of calgary

I just dont see the problem. He gets to play a sport for money, for which he gets compensated more in one year than multiple generations of average people will see in their lifetimes. His wife gets to work in a place she covets, and they both are a 2 hour flight from family without having to cross a border

Ya it sucks as a flames fan because hes fun to watch every night but it's not that mystifying as to why a human being would make the choice he did
