I don't hate the idea of going into the season with him unsigned and getting a bit of a feeling out process going. I suspect his contractual demands are not getting any higher than they are right at this moment, both because of the season he's coming off and after being blindsided (apparently) by a trade that sends him from South Beach to Alberta. It's possible that after a month or two he likes the fit and is more willing, and the Flames get a chance to see how he works within the system, and there's a better understanding of what the value should be.
Weegar though, they should either trade now for a top 6 scoring C (probably sending salary out with him), or sign as soon as possible to something in the ~5 year range.

I appreciate your clarification on the ages.
I’m not sure Johnny is “clearly” better right now though.
I loved Johnny, and haven’t seen enough of Jonny, but they seem pretty close to me.
