I’m trying to wrap my head around this and so far I can only think of a few options:
- Gross massively misplayed this and the offers weren’t there as expected - I assume Johnny would find new representation in short order if this was an agent misplay?
- Being the States anywhere was actually massively important.
- Johnny’s wife (or Johnny actually hated Calgary tge city)
- or there is massive bad blood between Johnny and the org. But this lame talk of revenge for tough negotiations 6 years ago just aren’t realistic. That would bubble up sooner and have been handled differently most likely. 6 years later and $15M would make that water under bridge pretty fast.
That said so interested to know what makes him take the worse offer and worse team. Not sure we’ll ever know.
