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.

He’s not the one doing the flying to and from Philadelphia. It will be his family, his wife & child, and his wife’s friends/family. When will Johnny have time to take a trip to Philadelphia other than for those few away games? Christmas break. His 5 day break if he wants to. All Star weekend if he doesn’t get selected. The rest he’s playing hockey games every other day.
