I read it the same as you. Maybe in isolation, I wouldn't have, but it isn't the first time that he has played that card.
Honestly, he is being given a lot of rope due to being a first round pick. That he was kept up so long and now called up despite his poor production in the AHL are gifts and he is pissing them away. First rounder goodwill doesn't last forever. A lot of later round picks have to do a lot more than he has just to get sniff and often one or two chances is all they get.
I am pulling for him, I really am but he has to start making good on his chances. He is all talk right now.
