I have to think that if he would ink that deal today, it would be done already.

A lot of players sign later though. You could have made the exact same point about Landeskog and the deal he signed.
If he was going to take $7M x 8 years that would be done by early-mid season. It was signed on the eve of free agency.
Outside of the Devils I am not sure who has the blank cheque to give to Johnny?
