Johnny is also...a LHS forward UFA at the same time...everything else is different.

I think you are making Beatle17's case. Panther fans shouldn't be panicking that Barkov isn't signed today (or argue that their GM is a negligent nincompoop for not getting a deal done). The stakes are even higher for Barkov but it doesn't mean there isn't room for negotiation and that may take time.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
