When your teams biggest cap hit goes to a guy that has retired...maybe, just maybe they are not focused on winning. Any belief he has or had was extremely misguided. I don't think he is a terrible person or anything just that he is kinda ignorant to reality when it comes to his team.

The only thing similar I've found is Garrioch saying Doan suggested his contract should be void if they move, since he has a NMC (not that his contract should void the move of the team, the opposite). And it appears to have been a Garrioch rumour, so I'm going to bet even that version of it wasn't true. Definitely not the same as what you were suggesting though, and at least sort of understandable.
He might be a little ignorant, I wouldn't say he's anything more than a simple man with a good sense of loyalty. He likes playing hockey, he likes Arizona, hard to fault him past that.
I definitely don't get the entitled/idiot/etc view some people have.
