But I don’t feel sorry for him, he got paid good to make the decision.
And I also disagree that he couldn’t sign him. Everyone has a price.

Could be a mutual agreement between them we don't know yet. Could be that Johnny told Tre that he wants to prove himself to show he is worth a bigger, better contract but actually wants to stay. On the ice, Johnny acts like he is happy playing with his team and his line-mates. They are feeding off each other like they are really close. Even Matt in his interview was commenting on how close the team was. The opportunity to prove his worth as JG is doing now might be the opportunity he was given to justify a good payday.
I know people get concerned, you just have to go back to Johnny's last contract to see all the over-the-top comments regarding Johnny and Treliving not having a contract signed. I am thankful that the board's posting has improved as it was unbearable during that last contract. That Gaudreauovertime poster was a very negative catalyst on the forum. Most posters these days, although not always agreeing have matured and are quite rational.
