I have little doubt that Calgary will offer him the best financial deal.
While money undoubtedly matters to Johnny (like all players) , I expect that he knows he's making a boatload wherever he goes, and his decision will be largely based on where he wants to live and play.
I do expect, if he decides to live in the States, to use the Calgary offer as leverage to get as much as he can from his US suitors. It's why players want to get to UFA.
