He never actually said that Columbus is better than New Jersey, only that it is better than Calgary. As far as I noticed, he never mentioned the New Jersey option at all. And his reasons reek of special pleading and ex-post-facto rationalization.
I don't believe he or his family got what they wanted. I think they took the only good offer they could get after boxing themselves in with the ‘close to home’ story. Remember, the Blue Jackets were surprised to hear back from him, because they did not think he would actually consider their offer.
