From a professional and earning potential perspective, Calgary has been good for him and I doubt he takes that for granted.
Tkachuk, who is a bonafide star was about to sign a massive contract either way, has different considerations than Zadorov, who is a #4/5 d-man.

Tkachuk was the darling of the market and had options. Zadorov should be going for any kind of stability he can find. Zadorov's priorities should not be weather.
