The DJ hypothesis is mostly silly because there other players that have outside hobbies and he was a DJ when was dominating. But is it really crazy to think he's a paycheck guy who finds his outside interests more important than hockey. We know people like that or even are people like that. It's probably less likely for a hockey player than an accountant considering how much determination it takes just to get to this level but it's still a possibility.
In the scenario you presented, imo, the issue would be him not finding hockey important. Not him DJing.
The money thing is a possibility, though—the pressure/expectations/complacency that can engender.
Also to be clear I hate clubbing lol. I’m not lobbying for DJs.
