Two things have changed - JG’s play has improved markedly, and IMO the view of him staying has improved.
Another argument was that it was hard to imagine success paying Johnny more than his 6.75. Getting younger and cheaper with TK would extend the window and set up further changes.

24 g 61 pts in 66 games (out of the 69 his team played that year). Leading that in both goals and points. His 3rd straight 24g season, with his pts trending up from 28 to 47 to 49.

His goal scoring his down, but he's still been on a 50+ pt pace these last two seasons while his team has stunk. For $600k more than 36pt career high Blake Coleman (if we want to play the no context pt total game).
