I would argue that the whole "Johhny wants to play in Philly" thing was started on this very message board, and that any media stories about it are just speculative and based on the ensuing comments from people on this very message board. Some people here see how close Johnny is with his family, and they couple that with an internal belief that no one as good as him would want to stay here, and then regurgitate it over and over again until other people start to think it's true.

I have a lot of respect for Johnny. He's a loyal guy it would seem.
He could have very easily waited one more year and then signed wherever the F he wanted. Hell, if he would have just hinted at doing that the Flames would have had to trade him the same way they were forced to give away that weasely piece of crap Adam Fox.
But if he won't sign a fair extension this off season he needs to be traded, because if he makes it to UFA I'd say it's at least 95% he's gone for no return.
