I guess the one party I'm not entirely positive about is the "circling back to Calgary" stuff on day 1 of free agency. Were there any serious discussions or offers or did one party simply say not interested. And who was that party.

From the information I received was that it was Johnny who came back and was told no.
I think this is after the opening of free agency and seeing little interest in him, Philly not even attempting ot make cap space for him and low offers from New Jersey and the Islanders.
The timelines and what I am saying lines up with what Jiri outlined as well as what he thought happened.
Pat Steinberg, Eric Francis(YUCK) and others have all said the same thing it was a done deal and Brad through it was wrapped up during the day.
Thats why the Edwards was fuming and didn't want him back, they met every ask of Johnny and he turned around and said naw and tried to crawl back to the same asks when no one else would meet them.
