Very strange result. This is the only scenario that hurts Johnny’s legacy. Why wait until so close to the deadline, I think Flames fans have a right to be upset at that? Will be interesting to hear what BT has to say, as the only way this makes sense in my head (especially from what I had heard from a reliable source about the counter offer from Johnny, which Pat Steinberg spoke about today seemingly confirming that a counter was in fact made from 13s side) is if the Flames wouldn’t meet Johnny’s ask. Would the Flames have really walked away from the table here, because that was my worry when I heard the rumour the Edwards was involved.
Maybe this is still posturing as one last push to get flames to Johnny’s number…. Seems like a long shot, but this whole scenario really stings.
