Nothing imminent according to Friedman:

The Calgary Flames and Johnny Gaudreau’s camp have still not come to terms on a pact for the restricted free agent.

“It’s not imminent, from what I understand,” relayed Friedman. “Johnny Gaudreau put a bit of a soft deadline on this for the World Cup of Hockey; that once he reports for the Team North America lineup on Sunday, there will no discussions that involve him until after the World Cup is over. And I’m told it seems unlikely it’ll be done before then.

“One of the things I’ve tried to check and see is if there’s a short-term deal in the possibility here. It doesn’t sound like it. It sounds like both sides are looking at a long term. I’ve been told they’re grinding away, trying to get things done, but it doesn’t look like anything is imminent – even with the Monahan deal done – with the Gaudreau one.”
