That is what every GM wants, but it is simply not how this works anymore. The players and their agents know that it is within their best interests to push negotiations as long as possible. Treliving has no control over when his player signs an extension, unless he just gives him a blank cheque, and we know that (thankfully) won’t happen.

I would be shocked to see any of the big-ticket RFAs locked up any earlier than August.
