And especially if the rumors are true and Gaudreau's wife is pregnant.
It's quite possible that they were happy to stay here and re-sign in Calgary, but having a kid on the way could change that completely.
Suddenly more pressure from the family to be closer to home.
You're more worried about what type of support system your wife and kid will have when you're on the road.
It really does change everything.
If I was an NHLer, my wife was pregnant with our first child, and I was a UFA then I'd probably be leaning towards signing with my childhood team and closer to home and my family as well. I could never sign in Edmonton but if Calgary was an option I would try to go there for sure, even if it was for a little less money.
