If the Flames offered 8 years at $9 mil that’s $72 mil. Johnny would take it unless he wants out. I bet the problem is Treliving wants the discount cap hit on the 6 year deal. Treliving has a history of not giving out 8 year deals and seems to really like 6 year deals. My guess is that is why it’s not done assuming Johnny actually wants to stay.
Brad needs to grow a pair and sign him until he’s 37 but I’m sure he won’t. Hopefully he does well with this deal but Johnny on pace for 100+ is not helping him out at getting the desired cap hit and term

Johnny would accept the 6 year deal rather than the 8 year deal at $6M more in total money. Firstly, he could make more that $6M more in years 7-8. Or he could sit at home.
Treliving understands Johnny will get an 8 year deal from Calgary or he’s walking.
