Another incentive for Johnny to sign ASAP is simply that it's financially safe to do so. He has plateau'd offensively and an injury next year could cost him millions in AAV and term. Right now, whatever he signs should be pretty close to his value, and he has the health to extract a good UFA deal for himself. We've seen guys' value tank after deadline trades too, where they don't find a fit with their new ream. Does Johnny want to end up with Taylor Hall money?
