If he's set on staying west, don't see why you don't take a look at the other western conference division champion over the plethora of questionable teams that struggled, or just "weren't great" last season.
Minny and St Louis don't have the dough to make it happen. Edmonton spent theirs on Citizen Kane.

Just my guess but I just don't think he wants to live in the city of Calgary and it isn't about opportunity in the lineup or the quality of the team. When the Flames first tried to get him, the team was strong and he didn't want to leave Toronto. And then recently, said no once becoming a UFA. Even now, with what appears to be an even smaller subset of teams able to fit him, he's still holding out for Colorado (likely for less money than the Flames are offering), which I get.
