I hate to break it to you, but the powerful emotional attachment fans feel towards professional athletes is rarely reciprocated. Playing sports is their job. Most don’t think about their legacy in the various cities they play for in their career, any more than you think about your legacy at the various companies you’ve worked at in your career.

And I doubt any of Gaudreau’s teammates are surprised or angry that he chose to play in the U.S. Again, they’re professionals.
