I hate when people bring spouses into the discussion. Gaudreau made his choice, and the factors that he weighed are his business. Ultimately, he made the choice, not his wife or anyone else.
I was never that confident that he was going to sign. He gave the Flames advanced notice that summer that he wasn't going to negotiate anything until the end of the next season. I'm not saying that means he was planning to leave, but it is pretty indicative of someone who knows there are factors that prevent him from committing.
