How bizarre.
Money aside, the contract is even more perplexing when you consider what else he turned down. A chance to play in a city where he was treated as a superstar. A chance to play on a team that finished first in the Pacific Division last year. A chance to continue playing alongside Matthew Tkachuk and Elias Lindholm on what was the best line in hockey last season.
Good luck finding any of that with the Blue Jackets, a nondescript team in a college football town, which lacks a No. 1 centre and has spent its existence as a bubble team at best.
That last part should change with Gaudreau’s addition, although don’t be so sure.”

I liked that too.
No offense to Gaudreau, but he's kind of an idiot.
