You have to look at this from a non fan perspective. The Flames have not given them one penny, he owes them nothing, yet. With his performance he has earned some negotiating power. If because of my university grades CNRL was awarded my negotiating rights. If I turned out to be an awesome engineering prospect and all I had to do was wait a bit and go to any company I wanted, I wouldn't just bend over for Murray Edwards because the CNRL fans wanted me to do so. My interests would come first, why would you put a billionaires interest over your own?
This is all conjecture, we don't even know if this is what they are doing. Sure a the dollars and term are set in the CBA but rest assured there are other things that are negotiated that may or may not actually be included in the contract.

I think he means from a media perspective. If they're going to be so candid, there going to open a circus for Johnny to deal with
