With a new coaching system coming into place, who knows how that will affect his play. That's why I'm hoping the contract doesn't go higher than $7.0M AAV.

I don't think it is unrealistic to say Johnny is going to be a 75+ point player for the next 8 years. Personally I think Johnny is going to be a top 3-5 forward in the league in the next 1-2 years. He is going to score, make plays, and play a decent 2way game. Look at his history in college the kid just gets better every year. Special talent and potential to be a generational winger and one of the faces of the league going forward. If the Flames feel the same they may risk the huge cap hit to get the max term
