The Calgary Flames fan base and organization seem to currently be in shambles after the loss of star player and second highest scoring player in the 2021-22 NHL season, Johnny Gaudreau. Gaudreau chose not to re-sign with the Calgary Flames due to wanting to relocate closer to his family in friends in the New Jersey and Philadelphia Area. It is also believed Canada's vaccinate mandates made it very hard for Gaudreau to spend time with family, friends and loved ones. Although Columbus is not close to home as New Jersey would be, Gaudreau stated in a interview that it is thee perfect distance (6 hours away) from family and friends back home, not too close where they can invade but not too far also.
