At that late stage "continuing to talk" wasn't an option. At that point they were making their final offers.
Freidman has stated that there was a moment that day when a lot of people, including other teams, thought the deal was done. I would theorize that is because Johnny's agent told those teams because he too thought it was done.
Johnny pulled the carpet on the Flames and his agent. Sent them all a tumblin'!
