Still it’s likely to the tune of like $2-3MM a year over a sizeable term to settle now or go to free agency unrestricted.
Pure guess but I bet the Flames are offering about 7-7.5/yr and he thinks he could get 9-10/yr in free agency. If he is a point per game player, I could see 9 for sure.

Doubt Treliving would insult him that bad, my guess is the offer is about 8.5 and if I was in Johnny's camp would insist on Brayden Point money/term.
