I think our bid was probably a million high and a year longer because of the optics of him leaving. I don’t think his value to any other team will be that high.
Johnny must be trying to leverage our offer against Philly and NJD. But I doubt they bite, he may be looking at closer to $20 million lost versus Calgarys offer.
