It is surprising that none of the big fish for next year's UFA class – McDavid, Makar, Eichel, Connor, Kaprizov, Panarin, Robertson – have reached extensions this summer. Wonder if there is a bit of a holding pattern and that others are waiting for someone (probably McDavid) to set the market. Wonder if McDavid doesn't want to sign a deal only to have Panarin or Kaprizov sign for more. I'm not sure, but while I don't have good feelings about McDavid not being signed, it sort of seems like nobody has locked up their UFAs for next summer.

I think he has internal pressure from himself to make the best deal for him and the team. In addition, the NHLPA also has to pressuring him to make a deal that helps everyone and resets the market with the growing cap after years of relative no movement.
I don’t think this is a cut and dry negotiation.
