Obviously Johnny's situation is a lot different, but there is no benefit to him to close the door on the Flames.

Pretty weak comparison. Johnny knows he will have a huge market regardless so there is no reason to string the Flames along unless he genuinely wants to stay. He is the biggest fish in the pond and one of the potential biggest players to hit free agency in a long time. He was considered a top 4 player in the league this year so there will be double digit teams trying to get something done with him.
