$6.75 is absolutely insane AAV. Shame about the 6 years but hopefully he's be injured in his contract year thus lowering the next contract value... ;-)

Wish it was longer, but 6 years is just fine.


Can't wait for Wednesday!

I love the fact that it comes out of the blue - Love the way that BT does his business - deals with the issue and doesnt do it through the media ( or skype)

I assume that's the case here. In six years it's possible won't be a Flame, but six years is a long time for this core to win. If we're not a consistently deep playoff team by that point, there's bigger problems anyway.

Uh oh... this will piss some people off but Eklund says Johnny was asking for 8 years @ 7.25 mil AAV.

Keep in mind its Eklund.

Happy Thanksgiving indeed! So happy to have Johnny back in the fold at a reasonable cap hit. Hopefully this shuts up everyone talking about greed on both sides. Don't know why it couldn't have been done sooner but I'm just happy it's done!

A lot of factors and conditions could change in six years. I think the number of years an AAV is fantastic for both sides.

Super dissapointing if true. 500k more per year for 2 more years is well worth it.

Anyone calling this to be his last contract with Calgary is jumping the gun. 6 or 8, the likelihood of it being the last was the same. 6 years is an eternity in hockey terms, who knows where both the Flames or JG will be when this ends. 0 need for disappointment or trying to read anything into it, just be happy he's locked in at a great AAV for the foreseeable future.
