Yeah but he’s giving up two years and $8+million worth of stability in a place where he has known teammates and an established d partner (not an easy find and can sometimes be the difference between good and bad).
His kids are young. Same thing I don’t really understand about Gaudreau and the kids close to grandparents scenario. I don’t remember anything before I was 10 really. Or only snippets. So the kids will only ever remember what life is like after you retire anyways. But when thinking further (on Gaudreau) I do understand the draw of having your kids born American citizens.
