We traded for Knight. IIRC, we didn't have an "under the table" deal with him.
Johnny seems like a nice kid. I don't think he's going to pull such a d*** move ala Schultz. For starters, it seems like he's happy for being drafted at all, that's gotta hold some value.
And by all accounts, the Flames have always treated him very well. For example, didn't the Flames buy him and his family rink side tickets for this years BOS/CGY game? Or when Feaster got canned, Burke made sure that Gaudreu knew we still count on him. Flames have always treated him well.
Plus, there is that hockey aspect. Flames are in a really good position to give him some NHL time.
