I disagree. I think you are making a leap from what evidence there is and what Johnny's motivations were.

I actually think Johnny would be a Flame today if it was entirely up to him. I get the feeling that it was going to happen and the wife at the end laid down the law that she didn't want to be in Calgary and he had to back out. It was probably the best move for both parties at the end of the day as if the wife isn't buying in it's going to lead to issues down the line especially on an 8 year deal. You only have to look at the issues Tom Brady is facing in his marriage by deciding to unretire to see what happens if the husband makes the decision on his own.
