I'd say it's 50/50 that they can sign Johnny, which is higher than I ever thought. And if pushed, I'd likely go higher vs. going lower. This has been a good year for the Flames and Johnny in particular, so that has to count. For a lot. The fact that his wife has moved here isn't particular relevant, where else would a newly married women live?

I think it goes down to the wire and may depend on whether he has playoff success or not. From his point of view. of course, if he can lead the Flames into a great playoff, what does that do to his demands?

But Calgary will not get him on a bargain type contract, this is not a Landeskog situation. They need to pay the man.
