Do you really think he'd be playing all season long at the risk of losing out on all that money if he was just going to re-sign with the Flames anyway? Of course not. He would have taken an earlier offer and avoided the risk.
Of course players aren't going to tell the fans that they're leaving until the day comes. They stand to gain nothing from the abuse. Would you tell a girl you're going to break up with her in three months, or just wait until you're ready to leave and do it then? Flames fans are kidding themselves if they think he wants to stay here.

The biggest knock on JG is his ability to elevate / keep the pace in playoffs
A good playoffs could be worth another 10 million on a long term deal.
Players do bet on themselves
