How do people watch this interview and still think he's leaving?

Probably because he hasn’t signed

Literally every person on earth looking for the extension after he already turned down $20+ million a season

According to the social media detectives, he's flat-out lying to us, I guess.

Probably bc he hasn’t signed … good indication and he’s not gonna say “yeah guys can’t wait to blow the pop stand and leave them flat , been a good ride but fuck yall im out ✌🏼 “

I can’t read minds, but I feel like he’s waiting so we can hopefully make a trade or two to improve the roster. Then he can work his contract around what we have. I don’t see him signing for more than three years.

This is what we call the bargaining stage

The better question could be: Is there an advantage he or the Wild have by not signing him right now? I've yet to see any analysis on this question. It seems from afar that he's the one taking on the unnecessary risk with an unexpected, severe injury.

"I love my teammates" - said literally every hockey player ever after a win.

You’ve never seen an athlete lie on camera before?

Wild fans need to settle down. Quit reading into everything he or the writers say. Only setting up for disappointment....

Because he still has to play out his contract!?...It would make it difficult to play the season if he says I'm leaving July 1st! 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Not really that difficult)

@PrimetimeSamWoo

Is he supposed to say yeah they are awesome, glad I can spend this year with them? These guys have to be professionals on the ice and off. He is not going to say anything that may look bad for the franchise he is currently playing for. not saying he is leaving just an observetion

Because he’s been reportedly offered the moon and hasn’t accepted. Whats left to think about?

exactly what they said in Vancouver

Said the same things in interviews in Vancouver. He ain’t signing.

The troll 🧌 Bots 🤖 from #NJDevils fanbase think he’s going to New Jersey.

Dylan Daniels told him to say this. He’s NJ bound on July 1st.

What do you want him to say?

Because if he wasn't, he would have been extended a long time ago like Minnesota ownership, fans and "hockey insiders" promised.

But does he love them like brothers???

Cuz #MNSports

@wild Just let him play out the season & no further expectations. No sense analyzing it to death.

Please tell me you're joking.

you must of never watched his vancouver interviews 😂😂😂😂

He must’ve learned from KOC how to say a lot without saying anything.

Because words are nothing, write it down. Like you never had a gf!

Because players say anything and everything.

Whether he resigns or not won't be known until July 1st. I don't see the benefit of him doing it now from a negotiation standpoint.

Probably because BG has given him a blank check to write whatever hr wants and has yet to sign it He is clearly waiting on something if he is planning on signing in Minnesota. One thing for sure is he is phenomenal at giving pr answers to questions

All of them……….. all of the do.

I don’t understand how anyone draws any conclusions from this one way or the other

They don't watch the interview lol

Because he hasn't signed yet you dumb fuck
