Wouldn't be the first time. Trouba specifically wanted to go to NYR because of his wife's career opportunity.
Quote:
"It's a great opportunity for myself and my fiancée" because "her career is as important as my career."
He isn't ungrateful for his time in Winnipeg, but the truth is, it is a lot easier on his personal life to play for an American team.
"Fans think of things in a different aspect -- that's just the nature of sports," Trouba said. "It's about winning a championship. It's not about caring about people's lives, really."

Worth the read because Trouba and his wife are very up front and honest about a potentially similar situation.
