The player doesn't want to wait until the last minute.
Cammalleri is likely looking for 2 things right now:
1. A guaranteed contract, likely a long term one.
2. To play where he wants to play.
Probably in that order as well. He is not looking to cash out like a first time UFA and get the spoils of a complete open market after the season, he probably wants a sunset contract in a handful of locales for the security of it at this point in his career.

Does he have a wife and kids?
