Reasoning behind that?
I can't see him doing so as it would lead to long and drawn PR circus (even more so than this) just to show everybody "Hey guys, this is what I had planned to take advantage of both Colorado and the NHL!" Doubt either the Avs or the league would appreciate this. If anything, he would get a lot of backlash and elevated to almost Burke-like big mouth status.
Doing all of that publicity would only serve to (temporarily) appease the insatiable fans who have had unrealistic expectations.
