You assume Jonny wanted to sign for 8.
Maybe he didn't. Maybe he wanted the flexibility to sign another contract while he still has some tread left on the tire. Or maybe this gives h control on whether or not he wants to go back to the NE states.
Flames initial offer should be 5x$5. I would go 6x$5 or 5x$5.5, but $6 is getting up there.
