Who was the last star player you know that didn't want to win? Rick Nash? Alexei Yashin? Few and far between.
Columbus is a mediocre city with a bad hockey team. I could see Johnny requesting a trade within a few years. Marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be and eventually the rose colored glasses will wear off. He'll realize that committing to marriage doesn't mean sacrificing your dreams and he can't achieve those dreams in columbus. Johnny is a competitive guy. Within a years, he's going to realize he's made a collosal mistake.
On the plus side, so much of his game is vision and cerebral playmaking. He's going to age really well.
