When Philly backed out, CBJ came storming in...and Johnny's agent advised him to sign because the game of musical chairs was coming to an end, and he might be left without a chair.
The only flaw in that is I can't figure out what happened to NJD.

I’m 100%,with you on this. My thought is, growing up a Flyers fan, you hate NJD. Like us becoming NHL’ers and signing with Edmonton. You take a minor haircut to not have to play for a team you hate so much. Glencross did it, he was an Alberta boy. Only after Edmonton upset him and didn’t offer him a deal when they chased Vanek. Out of spite, he signed in Calgary and it worked out for him.
