Would you throw your wife under the bus and blame her for the decision? How about your mom? He did what he had to do to keep his family happy and deflect criticism from those parties that applied the pressure for him to make the decision. I feel for Gaudreau having been through something similar. Life changing decisions are hard, especially when you have other people's desires who are close to you to consider. It's unfortunate that it came to this and the team didn't have the insight to prevent this outcome. Everybody lost here.
