I think he could be there right now if he handled this better.

Nah, thought it's where he's had his eye on for years, I don't think the new coach really wanted him.
His agent, knowing how bad Johnny really wanted to go there, likely told him, and strung him along, maybe even to the last day, that the Flyers were interested and in the mix, when thst may or may not have been true.
I think Torts was tepid on him. He would've gone to the Flyers for $2m more than Dangelo got.
Johnny instead is forced to do plan c to placate the family and wife, goes somewhere safe and quiet, and to somewhere that will have zero issue in giving in to his demand of trading him to the Flyers in a couple years.
