The Gaudreau brothers were born in Salem, New Jersey, which is just an hour drive away from Philadelphia across the Delaware River. During Johnny's free agency in 2022, there was significant speculation about him coming back home - with either the Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils or even the New York Islanders. However, he shocked the hockey world by signing with Columbus instead, bucking the trend of players leaving the Blue Jackets to sign with other teams.
