Ain't nobody got time for that, especially not Johnny. He'll be eager to get back at it with the Flames, a top team in the league to make more runs at it in those same 4-5 years.

Good points. And nothing saying he has to stay in Calgary for all 8 years. One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is that maybe Tre makes him some kind of ‘gentleman’s agreement’. As in, sign back on with us. Let’s take 2/3/4 more runs at this thing and if we don’t have any success or we actually win a cup in the next couple years I’ll trade you wherever you wanna go back east. He could take a couple more shots with some good Flames teams and when it’s time to retool in a couple years (which is inevitable) maybe Philly or NJ are contenders looking to add some high end talent.
