This news together with Johnny's negotiations spreading to the media tells me that Monahan gets the higher AAV contract. The big talented centre gets paid the most - hopefully that is the case here. I was lambasted in April for suggesting this, but it seems more and more likely to me that the Flames are indeed playing hard ball with Johnny and have asked him to accept less than Monahan. Announcing the signing of Monahan while Johnny goes out to buy insurance for the world cup is just rubbing salt into it ....
