But the argument that he chose Columbus because there is a great hospital there is still a really weak one IMO - there is a great children's hospital in every big city (or at the very least, many). Would it have been a bonus? Sure, no doubt. But I doubt Gaudreau chose the Jackets because of a hospital in town.

You have no idea what his wife values or why. World class is important and not all hospitals are created equal. It’s ridiculous to assume her career opportunities don’t matter.
And frankly, if he put her needs first, good for him. Not even first, just equal with his own. He still got to be out east. Just because he’s an athlete he should dictate where they live? Maybe her having a fulfilling career as a nurse is just as important as him winning. And maybe it was the best decision for both of them because now he’s in the EC and she gets the best career opportunity available.
Sounds like a solid marriage to me. Weird some people want to frame it that she manipulated him.
