Definitely this.

I get the feeling that some fans are just high on their own impatience and think that if everything isn't happening now now NOW!!! then nothing is happening at all. Instant results or the people in charge are idiots.

In fact, very little is happening anywhere in the league at present, because everyone's busy preparing for training camp. It doesn't really matter a rat's arse if a particular contract extension gets done now or on opening day of the regular season. Some fans don't like this: well, it is the business of the NHL to entertain the fans with hockey during the season, not to feed them news stories during the off-season. At present, the only rational thing to do is wait and see.

This isn't Netflix. You can't binge-watch the future.
