They can talk contract they just can't put pen to paper until July 1.
I believe the Oilers and Nurse agreed to a contract a few months before the July 1 of when he was able to be signed and they just didn't make it official until they were allowed to do so.
I'm not saying the Flames should do the same as the No Goods though. There is a lot of things that could change between now and July 1, or even when the current contract expires a year later. What is the rush to get it done now? Talking to Ras and finding out where his mind is at and where he sees his future is what they should be doing, and most likely what they have been doing. If they already know that he won't sign an extension then they should be working on trading him. From all accounts both player and team are interested in continuing on together past this contract so, we're really just worrying about nothing at this point.
