- A team he grew up cheering for.
- Life and family circumstances that are a major draw to be back in Philly.
I think the Flyers are the only legitimate threat to luring Johnny away, for the reasons above. |
I expect there are a number of teams that Johnny would be willing to play for. Philly is likely not the only threat.
