I can’t imagine being the home town superstar is a spotlight many want to be in. Especially in Philadelphia and especially if the team is bad.

Here is another hole in the Johnny Gaudreau wants to go home theory. Remember when he was asked what would be a good place to play out of if he wasn't in Calgary? Did he answer Philly? Nope. New Jersey? Nope. He didn't even name an Eastern team. He said Nashville because of the country music and the atmosphere. Nashville, nowhere close to home. So are we going to worry about the Predators now too?
