The Columbus offer was higher. And again, Jarmo made an offer to Gaudreau as soon as the UFA window opened.
* Guadreau and his family decided they wanted him to play in the Eastern U.S..
* Due to teams having trouble clearing cap space (and his widely-known geographical prefence), only two teams made offers.
* He took what is believed to be the better offer.
This really isn’t as mysterious as people are making it out to be.
