When you look around the league these are the toughest contracts to get done ... out of entry level and a bridge vs long term deal as the key variable that creates so many different permutations or lanes to negotiate.
Wenberg, Draisaitl, Bennett, Pasternak ... all have question marks that make the deals tough to do.
I really think the issue with these guys is the fact that the sides are negotiating up to four different types of deals at once, with moves on all four happening all the time.
