To be honest I don't really like the sound of that comment. It almost sounds like making an ultimatum that the Canucks need to be consistently contending and making deep runs year after year if they want to keep him. Its sounds a bit selfish. Players should show some loyalty and dedication to the teams that draft and develop them, and to the fans that support them and they should believe in their team and like the team they are playing for, even when the going gets tough. The Sedins were like that. They wanted to win it here with Vancouver, not just with any team. That's the kind of character I respect and like to see. Vancouver just had a disastrous season quite understandably, due in large part to the covid outbreak that infected nearly the entire team. Its not a season to gauge or judge the team by. The Canucks are a talented young team that have vastly improved at the draft and have made significant progress in their rebuild and in becoming competitive. So those "questioning the future" kind of feelings seem a bit unreasonable to me at this point.
