I know its hear say, but if by chance this is correct, does that mean Patty's gone?

It is hearsay. It has been done before with confirmation on other players and was indicative of final destination.
Technically without DW's permission, Patty is not supposed to talk to anyone else before July 1. That means he should have received no commitment from Lombardi or the Ducks and that it is premature if the rumor is true. It can mean that those are the only two teams with which he will negotiate and that he won't be crossing any lines if no communication has taken place up to this point in time.
Realistically, DW likely knows right now whether or not Patty will be returning. It is for us to hear the explanations from both.
