Points aren't the end all, Brad blew it because he and everyone else knew Johnny is the straw that stirs this teams offense yet likely didn't offer a contract in line of what Johnny was capable of, from what I heard Brad or possibly ownership baulked at something around $9m and Johnny decided to bet on himself and won. sometimes you have to take a chance on your star players and the Flames didn't do that with Johnny.
If Johnny leaves for nothing it's an epic failure plain and simple, for Brads sake it better have been ownership that allowed this.
