Forgive me if I misjudged this, but this felt like a topic worthy of its own thread, and Pierre LeBrun commented on it today.
LeBrun: Which high-profile pending UFAs could sign extensions early this season?
I think that while this hasn't been a major topic discussion during camp, it's a pretty important thing to monitor during the season.
.John Klingberg, Dallas Stars:
There has been good and constant dialogue this offseason between Klingberg’s camp and the Stars, I’m told, but obviously still no extension. But I do think there’s enough goodwill here based on the talks that have transpired that eventually this season both sides narrow the gap and find a deal that works. I’m betting he re-signs and it’s a deal that pops up out of nowhere in December/January. But there’s certainly work to be done. As noted with Rielly above, the upper end of the UFA D class had a good summer and I believe that’s had an impact on talks between Klingberg and the Stars, and how could it not? But I still think this is a deal that eventually gets done.
