At this point Murray Edwards reportedly broke out in anger and heavily admonished the Gaudreau side for reneging, handcuffing the team, dealing in bad faith, and unprofessionalism.

I don't think that's what was reported. All I saw was that there was reportedly a call by Murray to Gaudreau. People can speculate what was said, but I don't remember anything being actually reported. Could have been anything from begging to profane tirade. I'm guessing you could be close to right, but again, it's not what was reported AFAIK.

8. Columbus announced their interest and Gaudreau's wife approved this choice as she had a lot of family in the area. That there is a famous children's hospital in Ohio may have factored into the decision in terms of care of their upcoming baby but not much in terms of her career as she isn't intending to work full time and is rather going to volunteer in various capacities. They sign for 7x9.75M after there are no other viable offers from the market.

I think people are short sighted about this part a little bit. Gaudreau's kid(s) will eventually get older and not need a caretaker. And Gaudreau himself will be retired at 40 can be a caretaker too. It's totally possible she wants to work at that hospital in the longterm. Even people with wealth like to spend their time doing productive things.
