Perhaps the scenario is that Johnny is willing to sign here but the Flames aren't offering his inflated price. He might play hard ball with the Flames on waiving his NTC as a way of getting them to pay his price.
Not saying the above will happen, but there are a number scenarios which could occur, and Johnny has control over virtually all of them.
We generally know that Johnny would sign here is the price is right, and that so far that price hasn't been right.
I'd be shocked if the Flames aren't at least in very serious playoff contention at the deadline.
