So does being upset imply it's not true? I would believe it's not true, but if he's upset and it's true, then I'd question that logic.
The real reason I think this gets done soon is Gio TBH. I know people question the Gio cap as a rule, and I do too, but its gotta be pretty tough not to respect the hell out of that guy. If I'm Jonny's parents, I'd be thrilled to have my kid learning how to be a pro from that guy.
Gio had bad reports about his requests, and those reports made Gio look bad to many. Right there, he's got someone to talk to. How do you sit across the room from the guy who won the humanitarian award of the league and took a discounted contract and not say, you know what, it's time to play hockey? We all know that Jonny is a good man and his parents who are influential are also good and want what's best for him. We all know what is best for him is here. Gross told Jonny and his family, give me the time and trust to get you the best longterm deal possible. There is no doubt in my mind that his time is running out and Jonny is about to take this thing over.
