I don’t think they are disenchanted with him either. Sutter reacted to a silly question, as others have said.
I wouldn’t be shocked if he signed here again, with a nice fat AHL salary. Even if I don’t see him the way you do I’d agree he’s going to get a 2 way deal somewhere. Local kid. Good citizen working with the prospects.
And lots can happen between November and April.
For he and the team this is probably way less contentious than fans think. Teams don’t throw away picks. They invested in him and he knows it. He’s developed about as well as you can expect a guy his size to. I imagine both sides will be pretty rational.
