Too many unsigned RFA's at this point. I think maybe everyone is waiting for one of them (Marner or Pointe) to sign and set the bar, then the rest will sign shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately I don't see this happening right away. Like Nylander last year the players are going to wait until they get what they want. And the longer it goes the more the pressure is on the GM's to get them signed.
This is why I said a month into the season, although I'm hoping it happens before camp so Tkachuk doesn't miss any time. I don't see it happening though - they've had plenty of time to get it done up to this point and we still aren't there.
