Still, it would be very odd for him to sign now when the courting period is only days away.
I did read an article somewhere though a couple weeks ago where the author believed the only reason he hadn't re-signed yet was because he and his agency were waiting for the league to announce the salary cap for next year so he could get a certain percentage of the cap based on other high end centers that were all with the same agency. Guys like Malkin, Kopitar and Giroux IIRC. Well, they just announced the salary cap so maybe the author was correct.
