I don’t think anyone thinks that Johnny desperately wants to return to Calgary. He’ll return if the price is right.

I dunno, seems like he wants to stay in Calgary just as much as Landeskog wanted to stay in Colorado. For all we know, at least. Honestly, what inside information do you have on either player?
Saying it was just a question of just how much a discount Landeskog would take is no different than saying he’d return if the price was right.
End of the day, you’re just using different words to dance around statements that run contrary to reality. Johnny could take the hometown discount hours before free agency, just like Landeskog. Landeskog didn’t sign earlier because he was willing to sign when the price was right, just like Johnny.
