Well there's always going to be speculation that aspiring actress Janet from L.A. had Gretzky pick the Kings. She was called Yoko Ono etc. But they deny it to this day. Latest story being that it was Walter who wanted him to choose L.A.
Nylander agreed to sign with Edmonton, only to have his wife veto the contract before the paperwork was done.
But behind the scenes, I'm sure there's a lot of times where a player's wife has more than a passing say in where they live. Or at least I very very very hope they have some form of say. Probably not a lot of times where it's "Demand a trade today" (that's pretty much reserved for Edmonton) but "let's at least consider offers from this team".
