Johnson sounds like he wants to be back. Local kid who loves playing here. Flames also have faith in him too.
In my view bringing back Elliott is not a great idea.

Flames need to investigate and find another starter.

Johnson on the other hand is a good option for the backup if he would sign a short term deal.
