To me there is something more going on which I don't get. NHL players all have kids, families & wives and all of the move all over North America to play hockey. I can't remember the last time I heard of a player turning down a legit chance to compete for a Stanley Cup with a competitive team because of 'family decision', and that being due to location. Anyone else?

Claude Girioux just went from Philly to Florida to Ottawa in a few months. He has young kids too.
Giroux basically went home too. He is an Ontario Francophone who just signed in the Ontario Francophone capital. Being from Hearst, Ottawa is probably his home team.
