2 years/$2.5 per. There's no reason to bid against yourself for Chad. He's dreaming if he thinks any other team is going to give a guy with his resume any more term or dollars. If he'd continued his play from mid November-December and not given the net back to Elliott, I'd say he was setting himself up for a nice 3/$10M deal, but at this point he's making this easy for the Flames.

Johnson is better than Elliott. In the 1A/B role the team is going to want next year, he's fine as long as a kid can pressure him for 40 starts. He's a local kid. The market for goalies is going to be very volatile, and his best chance to play a lot of games at the NHL level is right here.

If he blows it by demanding more money, he's a fool. If Brad goes full Bouma on an extension, he's foolish. Neither side should screw this up.
