Columbus is very clearly an option close to Philadelphia. It is an hour and half away on an airplane. I'm not sure why you are so determined to not accept this.
Because it was clear that Gaudreau wanted to sign in Philadelphia. That's what he meant by ‘close to home’ in the first place.

If you have to fly to get there without taking a full day, it's not close. Not to eastern-seaboard Americans.

Teams close to southern NJ: Philly, Jersey, Rangers, Islanders, Washington. Anywhere else and you are looking at flying distances. Gaudreau reportedly hates flying. He did not sign close to home.
