I'd be all for extending Johnson right now, as long as it's for a dollar amount that doesn't cement him as our #1. If we can lock him down to a strong back up, or 1B type dollar value I'm there.

Very happy with what he's provided to date, he's clearly our best goalie so far and a big upgrade on last year. However, maybe it's just the stigma, but I'd need to see a lot more before the Flames committed to him in a big way that would force our hand to have him as our #1, I guess I'm not sold yet and would want another option next year for him to compete with (like this year).
