Flames initial offer should be 5x$5. I would go 6x$5 or 5x$5.5, but $6 is getting up there.

All I know is what was in the thread when he signed.

Flames didn't want to go over $7M. The Flames save a million in the cap to have Johnny for 2 less years and that valuable cap space can go to great 4th line talents like Troy Brouwer and Matt Stajan.
Anyways sorry for rehashing this discussion not something that needs to be talked about for another 2-3 years.
