Luckily,we would have Taylor Hall locked up longterm by then, and a couple cups, so that will soften the blow lol.

I doubt either of these things happen. We can't afford Hall and I am not a fan so that does not bother me. Johnny won't leave, he has too many strong ties to the area and the children he does charity with. Also, if he stays in Calgary he almost assuredly will hold every single team record not by a goalie when he is done. Finally, he will probably meet some local girl and grow roots here. I could see him doing a one year deal with the Flyers at the end of his career but not before then. Unless the Flames are rebuilding in 3 years which I can't see with our young core there is no reason for him to leave. What Tavares pulled is the exception, not the rule.
