My 2 cents...............Any athlete that makes a free agency decision based on winning is stupid. Any athlete that makes a free agency decision based on money is stupid.
Wins don't bring happiness. Money doesn't bring happiness. What brings happiness is quality of life. Where can you play that will give you mental peace, your family can thrive, you will enjoy going to work, and you can provide financial security for you & yours. Basing your choice solely on the highest bidder or the most trophies is asinine.
That is why I admired Johnny Gaudreau. When a FA, he didn't choose Calgary cause he was familiar with them. He didn't chose the Rangers, Islanders & Devils cause he was from NJ. He didn't join a team poised to win the Cup. He went to Columbus for less $ because that was where he & his wife would be happy.
Johnny knew the deal.
