After 10 years, who would want to uproot the life they've established and move? Kids are in school, wife is involved in the community, you have a certain comfort level. Is that not what 'home' is?

I know the world is different now than it was in the 80s and 90s, but look at a lot of the Flames from the late 80s and 90s. Quite a few of them have remained in Calgary. Otto, Macoun, Patterson, Fleury and Peplinski to name a few from just the championship team.
