I find the ongoing negotiations very interesting.
I remember Johnny's agent saying that when he made the all star team and subsequently triggered some significant bonus money that he left Johnny a voicemail telling him the good news and never got any reply.
That story, combined with his all round humility, suggest that Johnny is definitely one of the players who need their agent to ensure they get paid market value. Left to his own devices Johnny likely signs his qualifying offer and is beyond grateful in the process.
Obviously pure conjecture on my part but my guess is Johnny is as anxious as any of us to get a deal signed and get back to normality.
