For those of you that are accusing him of being whipped, a #### (rhymes with duck), a momma's boy.... whatever it is, give your heads a shake. There is a dynamic in every relationship, and even if that was the case..... so be it. That mat very well be the dynamic in his. Some people need that guidance in their lives. It's pretty clear watching Johnny talk, he isn't exactly a dominating personality, and he definitely comes across a a guy that's had a lot of decisions made for him. And that's just the way he is. It's not a flaw, it's just who he is.
Not every dude walks in the front door after a hard day of work, slaps his wife on the ass, and says "Go cook me dinner Toots, and look sexy doing it."
If the guy left in consideration of his wife's wishes, so be it. He is still getting paid 68.5 mil for the next 7 years to play. And that very well may be enough for him. And maybe to the Gaudreaus, they are perfectly fine with 68.5 vs 84 mil to be where they want to be.
Maybe he doesn't care as much about winning a cup as we'd like to think he did.
Maybe he doesn't like Calgary as much as we thought or he has said he did.
And if either of the above are true, then you should be happy he's gone, because those two things, can almost assure you, he isn't the ticket to a cup.
Let it go, move on, and take the high road when he returns for a game, and give him a cheer for the 8 years of excellent playmaking he gave us. Booing him and shouting profanities is just going to make you look like a petty and jilted ex... who in the end, deserved to be left.
