Everyone loves him, he’s built a good team, management is committed to winning, and he’s gonna make bank
Is a few extra million worth having to rebuild a shittier team with the pressure of a new market expecting instant results? Probably not. I mean he could do it. And maybe that challenge with the extra money is enough for him to go. But why uproot your family and ruin a great situation chasing a dollar when you’re going to get 90 cents to stay here

Starting to think this whole thing is a psyop to rattle the team.

I don’t think Rod is necessarily going to the highest bidder because there are things he cares about more than money. He won a Cup here. He built this team. I think he likes the area.
So while Seattle does seem like a reasonable destination for him should he leave, I don’t think he wants to leave.
That said, Kaiton and Forslund were loved here and didn’t want to leave and were one of the best in their profession and Dundon chased them away, so you can’t rule it out. Hopefully, Dundon wouldn’t be that dumb, but I suppose it’s possible.

just cause they stole our AHL team and their GM is Ron Francis does not mean they are also getting to steal our head coach

Rod went on TV yesterday and said “Everyone knows this is the place I want to be”. Not concerned about his contract situation at all
