Maybe it's negative in your eyes but it's just reality in my eyes. I'm really not that emotionally tied to it. If Johnny wanted to be here that bad I think he would be signed already. The fact he isn't tells me he's gonna take a wait and see approach and testing free agency is likely what he will do. At that time I see there being more pulling him away than drawing him back, but time will tell. Maybe the Flames land Jack Eichel and everything changes. Maybe Sutter has them playing at an elite level. A repeat of last year though without any major player movement and I'm guessing he's gone.
