Why Johnny wife wanted out is anyone's speculation. But she must have really hated someone in Calgary. Maybe the ghost of johnny's past. Maybe some of the wives. Maybe some of the players. Maybe some of the exes.
Johnny probably thought the money could convince her to stay. But it didn't. She wanted to start a new life together. anywhere else but Calgary

I suspect there is some truth to this. Just hearing JG's answers in the presser sound like it wasn't really a choice, but something he had to do. We can speculate on the reasons, which probably isn't fair, but the fact that his wife moved to Calgary this past season and he mentioned her specifically in why he moved to Columbus, you can't help but feel that was the catalyst.
Maybe Johnny moving her to Calgary was to try and sell her on the City, or maybe she moved up to domesticate him, whatever the reasons, I strongly suspect Johnny didn't have any issues staying, but had to go.
