Death of Johnny Gaudreau: his wife Meredith will receive compensation and we have the figures
No wife of a player should ever have to experience the loss of her husband due to such a tragic event as Johnny Gaudreau's passing.
Indeed, several families were affected by this tragedy, as both Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, the two brothers, perished. It's catastrophic and deeply sad.
Naturally, many are concerned for Johnny Gaudreau's wife and children. Even though he earned millions during his career, people want to ensure that Meredith and the children have some financial security for their future.
And that will happen. According to the website Blade of Steel, when a player dies tragically in this way, the wife receives one year's salary plus $1 million from the NHL.
This means Meredith Gaudreau and the children will receive $10.75 million.
Of course, they would have much preferred Johnny Gaudreau stay alive and never have this money, but it's far better than nothing.
We are still in shock, and it's impossible to make sense of his death. The family, along with the NHL, will have to find a way to move forward.
