Took the red pill
The reason they havent signed the contract for another month are some financial concerns about the insurance for all the players, if the NHL doesn't start and the team will be able to put the money together for the rest of the season, they will stay.
However it's unlikely the team will be able to put together enough money for all of them, so they are free to look for jobs right now.
Nothing more to that than this
That would make sense - I recall Krejci had to wait a while to join Pardubice because of insurance concerns. Do you have a link?
