Contracts are done. They are just not announcing them until they make a few trades. No worries.

Why do they need to make a few trades? They have enough money to sign them both and not go over the cap

May be more advantages to make trades before the flames announce the contracts. They could be right at the cap and have a compromised bargaining position.
Just a thought

In my opinion, announcing and being close to the cap doesn't really change their bargaining position. Teams are well aware of the position the Flames are in with their two star players and approximately what they'll likely sign for.
The only benefit i can see would be to use the signings as an excuse to try and shed a player/salary. i.e. we love Matt/Dennis and hate having to trade either, but with Johnny and Sean needing new contracts...

Neither can i to be honest, but it's the only reason i could think of for not announcing a deal, if there were one.

Yup. I tired of discussing what the contract should be.
I want to sit back and watch people wail and gnash their teeth at how overpaid Monahan is.

Johnny hasn't been talking about his contract because he's been busy playing Pokemon Go on campus according to Kevin Hayes:

Johnny plays Pokemon Go?!
He should turn up to camp in the best shape of his life! 50 goals, 110 points confirmed. Keep hatching them eggs, Johnny!

All I know about Pokemon Go is what shows up in my Twitter feed. Therefore, we should hear about Johnny discovering a body in some New Jersey alley any day now.

I honestly think people are getting way too anxious over a contract signing. We all know they are going to sign for 6-7.5m each for the next 6-8 years, so why the rush? It's only July 15th for crying out loud

Nothing to be anxious about. There are still dozens of unsigned RFA's league wide, including many other big names like:
Kucherov
Mrazek
Killorn
Johansson
Kreider
Strome
Hoffman
Schenn
Barrie
Ristolainen
Rackell
Stone
Hayes
Lindholm

You need to stop doing this Rog, unless you have something to back it up.

Roger doing Roger things. Between his rather misleading hockey tweets and recent rampant political retweets he earned himself an unfollow. I hope he can sleep at night.
