In fact, if the judge was really serious about his wife's safety, he's almost better off keeping them in the USA. I don't think Russia's domestic violence laws are as robust to say the least.
I question this. There are a finite number of jobs and number of dollars in the NHL.

If he doesn't take the job, someone else will.

I would argue that he doesn't contribute at all. He takes a (very high paying) job away from a North American.
