There's bad blood in the water for sure. Nothing else explains this all coming to a head the 11th hour versus both parties figuring out where they were at days or weeks prior to the deadline.
What's Johnny got to be mad about? Playing for Sutter and having a career-best season? The fact he wasn't given a leadership role (or that he didn't grab one)? That his bestie was relegated to spare part and has no future with the team?
