Dont forget that BT had a nice talk with Johnny about contracts and 2 points were raised with him:
1 - Highest Salary on the Flames is Giordano (Captain) and no one should make higher.
2 - Lower Contract means they can add another piece to the table = Dynasty
So if Johnny, Gio, Money and Chucky are all in for 6.3-6.75 a season....
That is 4 high caliber players for the price of Toews and Kane...
I think BT is making players think about the difference between playing in the league or being the then New England Patriots of Hockey.
That is my firm belief and we will find out come contract time.
