Maybe the plan was to not commit for 8 years at 80 mill for a player who still had questions to answer. Maybe they wanted to see a full year of Johnny and Sutter together before they paid that kind of coin. Maybe, like most people, the flames still had no idea what this team even was in the offseason and wanted to stay nimble. Yes, he's walked himself into a high leverage situation, but if the player and team are happy, it'll get done more often than not.
