Man, I hate all the speculation and agree with posters that make emotional guesses regarding a spouse is cringy, but just because of recent posts again suggesting that his wife wanted to leave or other incorrect speculation towards Johnny - for clarification as close as you can get - Gaudreau's wife wanted Calgary over New Jersey/Philly because she was not a fan of Johnny's partying friends and lifestyle on the east coast, and made really close girl friends in Calgary and saw our city as a place to raise a family with Johnny away from the partying lifestyle and close to her girl friend circle. She loved it here with Johnny and the separation from everything back home, and was already looking to get permanent work here in anticipation of the possibility of staying here for years.

Johnny himself was open to anything up until the final day, including Calgary, but preferred New Jersey/Philly and really wanted to see the offers, thinking they'd be in the $11-$13AAV range. Ultimately they made a choice as a family to go to Columbus (for less than New Jersey) to be away from the partying lifestyle of Johnny's home and friends but close enough to travel to friends and family of both Johnny and his wife.

That is the truth from a surefire source close to the situation and hopefully can put to bed the weird/incorrect guesses by so many posters. If you don't believe us then don't believe us, I guess.
