Obviously as a fan I want it done as soon as possible, but it’s not like this is that uncommon.
I thought that the expansion draft played a huge role in Ovi signing late. Probably with Landeskog too but less so. There was such a short period of time between the expansion draft and free agency. It was more difficult to iron all the small details out as a result.
