Landeskog signed his eight-year extension the day before Free Agency began last year. I expect something similar to occur in Calgary.
My sense based on everything that has been said by both sides is not that Gaudreau is waiting to test the market. It's that both sides want a deal done, but are determined not to do it in-season. Gaudreau said something last night similar to this: they were working on a contract last summer, but couldn't get it done, and will now wait until this season is finished.
