Right now is just not needed as things can evolve based on who plays well this year and who makes the team out of camp

Signing at any time beyond the last possible minute isn’t needed at any time, and yet it is a frequent, regular occurrence in the NHL, because players and teams agree on extensions/contracts when it makes sense to both parties instead of holding to some arbitrary timeline.
No reason not to be happy with him, and if he’s willing to extend now, get it down now. One less thing to focus on.
