I think honesty is the best policy but I've not been in his shoes and had twitter followers, fans wearing my name on the back of their jersey, etc.

Very solid rational; As fans sometimes we pick apart every little intention and are guilty of spreading gossip and rumours. Dispite that we still like to pick apart the normal decisions hockey players make. I would be the first to tell you I have left a job for all the wrong reasons, I am sure I am not the only one. Johnny made a decision to support his new wife, she is going to love him for it. That's all that matters. Could he have handled things better? Absolutely. Would he do things a little bit differently if he had to do them again? I bet he would. We just have to wish them the best and thank him for giving us some great years.
