Johnny Gaudreau's death: The long-awaited answer is now known
Johnny Gaudreau had 5 years remaining on his contract, valued at $9.75 million per season. Simon-Olivier Lorange summarized the situation well, noting that the Blue Jackets are now completely relieved of his contract.
While this is currently a secondary concern for everyone, including the organization, it remains that they are no longer obligated to $9.75 million.
For Johnny Gaudreau's family, there is life insurance in place for such situations. While it is unlikely they will receive the full amount of his contract, they will receive some compensation.
It is understood that the organization would have preferred to continue paying him, and his family would have preferred not to receive this money, but at least they are not left empty-handed.
