And the whole Flames met his demands thing is an unsubstantiated CP myth. Steinberg reported it was a full day of 'grinding' after Johnny's counter. Did the grind end with Tree giving in entirely? Perhaps...but there are a ton of ways that could have played out. Hell, Johnny could have informed the team he was going to test the market, and that's what cause the Flames to cave on the remaining sticking points after that. Which is a subtle, but meaningful difference.

Its been reported by Francis and others and Tree himself eluded to it...we know 10.5x8 was offered...considering what he settled for that was obviously more than met his expectations.
You defend Gaudreau and Tkachuk more now than you ever did when they actually played for the team lol go figure
