You offer low, the player asks high, you find the common ground. You even make the other side sweat by not responding right away..Which is what we're seeing right now. The Flames are willing to pay high. Johnny knows this, everyone knows this. So Johnny is waiting before responding. Make the Flames flinch and get more money or whatever else he wants to get.

You would think that they are past the starting point. The Flames got to have close to their best offer on the table now.
