I think the teams and players just have no idea where the market is. When there is this much uncertainty, you’d can’t be making hard offers with numbers until there is a better indication of the market.
Tre could offer $5 x 5 years now but what if the market is actually $4 x 5? Tre tries to go back on the offer to match the market and the Brodie camp would get upset.
I think it’s the same for Talbot, Flames aren’t making real offers because they don’t know where the market is yet, and they won’t till Markstrom signs.
