Agreed, most of these guy are smarter than we give them credit for. They know that they are in a unique profession where their peak earning years are typically between the age of 25 to 35. After that, they can live and work literally anywhere in the world they want to. Most of them aren't going to give up millions just to have nicer weather for a few years, if they are lucky and don't get traded or waived.
From a professional and earning potential perspective, Calgary has been good for him and I doubt he takes that for granted.
