FWIW, Gaudreau had quiiiiite the reputation off-ice in Calgary during his early days, so it completely makes 100% sense to me that Meredith's preference was to stay in Calgary, as Gaudreau rumors started dying down right as she came along.

In fact, I will even admit to a phone call conversation (that I'd be willing to confirm with a mod) that I had with Calgary's management team during 2016 (or 2017?) because of the seriousness of the rumors of his off-ice reputation in Calgary.

Now obviously that doesn’t confirm at all that that's why Meredith wanted to stay in Calgary, but it makes sense to me why that could've played a big reason in her wanting to stay here, where Gaudreau finally started to smarten up (hopefully things are going great personally in Columbus).
