I think they would have insisted on keeping Johnny and trying to re-sign him as opposed to trading him away to recoup assets.

Johnny said in the Players Tribune that he wanted to sign longterm last summer in Calgary, that did not happen either. I guess it is possible that the owners said do not sign him longterm and do not trade him. If that happened one would hope that the GM would say that is not a good approach.
