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.

Except the proximity thing was never about Johnny travelling himself. It's family coming to them more often and/or wife+baby going the other way - especially when he's on road trips. He signed immensely closER to home.
