not sure exactly, but there no reason you cant come to an agreement and sign on a new contract before the other one expires. Lecavalier's new deal didnt kick in until July 1st last year after his current contract had expired, as an example.
I still have a feeling this guy will price himself out of the NHL unless he was just screwing with Atlanta with the numbers to get himself off the team, Im sure his agent played a part in this scheme. Im sure this all was deliberate and he never was going to sign.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
