I don't know why I keep coming back here to check either. With how much fun the team has been to watch this season, it's definitely a wet blanket to wander in here and just feel bummed out about the contract situations.
I'm certainly not a fan of signing players close to 30 years old to max term contracts. If you get one of those contracts, you best be among the elite in the league and worth every penny game in game out.
The crazy thing is that Johnny IS definitely elite and brings it each and every game. I'm not really scared the least in a contract that long with him, even in the downswing of his career.
This will easily be the biggest blemish of BT's tenure if he is allowed to walk. The fact it is a realistic option at this stage is frustrating given how the team has handled high end assets like this in the past. All I can say is I hope and pray there is some kind of discussion ongoing between both sides where Johnny is out to prove himself worthy of a large contract, and that contract is signed with the Flames.
