The NHL announces the amount Johnny Gaudreau's widow will receive
The tragic death of brothers Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau has shaken the hockey world, and many fans are concerned about the financial future of Johnny's wife, Meredith, and their children.
According to recent reports, the NHL will compensate Johnny Gaudreau's family in accordance with a clause in the collective bargaining agreement.
Meredith Gaudreau will receive an amount equivalent to one year of Johnny's salary, which is $9.75 million, along with an additional $1 million, for a total of $10.75 million.
This sum also includes the option to continue benefiting from lifetime coverage, as provided by
section 23.6 of the NHL collective bargaining agreement.
Although these financial considerations cannot lessen their grief, they do provide some support to the family during this difficult time.
The exact financial details, while secondary, offer a small measure of comfort.
