I don't think it is the end of the world if Johnny signs elsewhere. UFAs leave - it happens every year. And no team (other than one up the QE2) is just defined by a single player. This was a good deep team for 90 games this season - they can retool and overcome the loss of Johnny.

However, if he does sign elsewhere, that is a major failure on Treliving and the Flames management team. They are supposed to have the relationships, intelligence, and analytics to be able to manage, predict, and optimize every asset in the organization. Losing an asset like Johnny for nothing is a system failure.
