Just be honest, if a reporter asks why you left all Tkachuk has to say is "I liked the city but didn't like the weather". I can't see how anyone would get pissy from that type of answer, and hell I'm guessing a large chunk of Calgarians would agree. It's no secret why a 24-year old multi-millionaire would want to live in/around Miami, just own it

He also said he was committed to signing long term 3 years ago (same as Brady after his ELC) but that didn’t work for the team. So… he reciprocated the situation.
If he signed long term in 2019 for $8M/year or more his 2021 season would have looked even worse.
It worked out well for both sides. Move on.
