After sleeping on it I still very curious to what the cost would have been to get the 7 or 8 year term? I know the Flames never would have done it but I really think buying those extra UFA years would have been worth the extra money even if it was $8M. I just truly
believe Johnny is going to get better and better and will cost north of $10M when this deal is up and if the Flames want any chance to keep him they are going to have toax out the term. I am not a fan paying a player that type of money in their mid 30's.
At the end of the day it is a problem to worry about 5 years from now. For now I will just be happy he is back with the team
