Listening to Flames Talk it really doesn't sound like that was the case. It sounds like his circle of family was divided actually. I am imagining the Gaudreau's thought he should stay, his wife and her family wanted him to come East. I think he was conflicted, everything I have heard sounds like he wanted to stay and was negotiating a deal until he suddenly backed out. In the end he made the choice that would keep his new family happy. Also, NJ offered him more money and was closer to his family. From what I understand though his wife has family in Columbus. I obviously don't know the facts but I can connect the dots as I see them. Even more interesting is Steinberg and Francis both say there is much more that could come out but they are not going to be the ones who spill the beans on that.
