They're close. Now we have a soft deadline, and a player with essentially zero leverage given his RFA rights has some.

If Johnny Gaudreau isn't locked up long term before September 4, I'll change my avatar to Donald Trump.
This assumption has been made all summer. It's not obvious in any way that "they're close".

If they were close, the signings would have been done after the comparibles were signed this summer.
