Yes I think it's all those factors.
I can also imagine that a coach looks at a Blues team, and thinks he can probably do something more near-term with it than the Flames squad - including because there are some guys on their like Binnignton who have won. But that's a guess.
There's also a history with the organization, with him being an assistant there.
