Based on her twitter, Gaudreau’s wife is really all about family. It’s pretty clear Calgary was never an option for them. I just wish that would have been communicated instead of negotiating in bad faith.
For whatever reason it wasn’t working out in NJ or Philly so Johnny and his agent had to come up with the next best compromise and approach CBJ for a sweetheart deal.
He and his wife are happier because at least they are closer to family (couldn't get closer, but hey at least he can show her he tried). The compromise is playing in Columbus and leaving $15M on the table.
It makes sense. I’m disappointed at how it played out, but not upset.
