Best to trade him but I am afraid that time has passed. We are now screwed if we sign him or not sign him.

The only problem with Johnny is he’s our only weapon.
Take him out, and we have no answer. And at 5 ft 8 160lb, he can’t just impose his will on the game like Iggy.
It’s classic Calgary Flames to have a player like Johnny, give him a bunch of 2nd line players to work with, and then get pissy and blame HIM for it not working out.
They spend $80M every year and have one first line forward.
Somewhere in that $80M there has to be room to spend on second one.
Preferably one who doesn’t play wing.
