Other than Prongers wife wanting out of Edmonton, how often do players wives dictate which team a guy plays for?
Monahans fiances sister is Casey Cizikas wife, should we be concerned that Monahan is going to want to play for the Islanders now so the sisters can be close and he can play with his brother in law?

You don't think it affects where UFA's sign? Sure, it's often not the sole reason, or the main reason, but as with any other job, if you've got multiple options, you'll be looking at a host of things, including where you and your wife want to be. Money will be a primary driving factor, but so will family lifestyle. I think it's naive to think where a hockey player's wife / gf wants to live and / or work doesn't factor into what team a player chooses.
