What exactly about Montreal and playing in the highest taxed region in the NHL appealed to Taffoli for him to take a pay cut? Montreal likely landed him because they had the best offer, and often the Canadiens have to pay as much as a 10% premium to win a money battle.
Not that the Flames were in on him, but as I noted before if they are not carrying 2.7 million in cap bogeys plus paying Lucic 5.25 for the year a player like him could have been on their radar.
