Steinberg says he heard the contract was imminent, minutes away from being official. If nothing else, Johnny (and his family) got cold feet at the last minute and went back on his word. Sounds incredibly unprofessional.

Wow. If that is how it went down, I would be incredibly choked as the Flames. Shame on the agent for allowing that to happen. Hope he loses a ton of credit with teams around the league...GM community I imagine is pretty small and tight knit...can't see them allowing that lack of integrity to stick around.
