You have no idea because your comment about being a powerplay specialist is debatable. So Johnny does not create scoring chances at all at even strength. Does your analysis take into consideration that he has played the entire season with a PTO level player on his RW?
Johnny has proven that he is not a franchise player and is not a guy that will carry a team or a terrible line to be elite. If Johnny went to a team like the Avs where he is the third best forward I see things going a lot differently for him and he would be scoring points at an elite rate.
I have absolute zero doubt that Johnny will get a deal that gives him a raise over 7-8 years when he signs a new deal and I think it is almost certainly elsewhere
