It kind of sounds like an excuse and strange they both mention it, but moving is totally upsetting. At the money involved here, can't the teams and agents do a better job of getting players and families settled?

I wonder how much is the life disruption, and how much is coming into a brand new team/org.
I'm sure it's like starting a new job. Both these guys were starting a new job, after getting a massive pay raise. If they suffer from imposter syndrome like the rest of us, I'm sure they put a lot of pressure on themselves to perform and prove they are worth it. As soon as self doubt creeps in, it's hard to kick the self feeding cycle.
For sure some people are great at that and have the confidence in themselves for it not to be a problem, but they are all fallible humans just like us, except really really good at hockey, rich, fit, admired, etc.
