Johnny has always seemed like a guy who wants to prove himself through his play and his accomplishments on the ice, both team and individual, rather than through his bank balance. He's been called undersized his whole career and was only drafted in the 4th round, and he has spent probably his whole life facing and overcoming doubters. I think he must have a greater sense of intrinsic drive to leave his mark and his legacy than he does to just cash in. He probably cares about that more than most

I don't know if he will tie himself to Tkachuk that much and I have no idea how the Flames find another puck carrier without doing it internally, there is no money left. Isn't Kylington developing into exactly that?
