That was my recollection as well. It was pretty much a forgone conclusion that the Avs were waiting until after the expansion draft to sign Landeskog, similar to what Washington did with Ovechkin. The Flames and Gaudreau do not have the same incentive to wait on this.
Not that him being unsigned at this point necessarily means the sky is falling. It's just that there is no reason to draw it out longer than it has to be unless one side has cold feet. Then again, for all we know, they have an agreement and are just waiting to file it. It's possible at least.
