If he had signed and played for another season, gave it his all and showed some stability, I bet the fans and organization would get behind him. At least this way he is showing his ability, durability and loyalty. Not sure what representation he is getting but the timing seems to be an issue since he just got back after the Flames stood in his corner.
Why not showcase himself for another year and help the young defenseman coming in and then next season more likely fits Conroy's timeline for change and we could trade him for assets. Win, win..; Not sure what his representation is thinking since we just lost Johnny for nothing and this goes against what Conroy is trying to rectify. Hard to understand his motives, chances are he would probably get more on the market and more term if he stuck it out for another season.
