Yeah we had Gostisbehere a year ago but we gave up a pick to get rid of him, but don't worry - we traded for racist Gostisbehere yesterday. Our franchise player and captain was traded at the deadline because he wouldn't resign, because we're awful and will continue to be so going forward.
So you in?"

Very unlikely that Johnny goes to Philly. It's going to be way too tough for them to fit him in under the cap.
Plus the team is a dumpster fire, with no clear direction or vision on their future. If I were Johnny I'd stay away from them if he really cared about his legacy / earning potential or their winning potential.
Honestly, I think if rumours about his asking price are true, there are going to be very few teams capable of offering him a competitive deal, while Calgary still has the upper hand in negotiations and has established a strong relationship with him and his family over the past 10 years.
