If Calgary wants Johnny, they'll need to go 8 years. It's the one advantage they have over other teams, they'll need to take advantage of it.
Of course the deal will stink at the end.
That's the cost of doing business.

That's why you have to strongly consider trading him. If you onow you're just going to be a shooting yourself in the foot with the deal, let someone else give him that deal. The goal is to accumulate assets like picks and young players for cheap and when it gets to the point that you have to give them a poison pill contract, trade them. Get to the point where you have a lot of good affordable players and go for it.
