The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta appeared on the NHL Network yesterday night to talk about Sidney Crosby’s re-signing and notable restricted free agents who remain unsigned.

So this is a little dated. Still!

At the 4:28 mark of the video, Pagnotta states that with Raymond and Seider, the conversations are ongoing, long-term is the expectations, and that both sides are having daily talks, but the gaps need to be bridged, and the expectation is $8+ million per player, with Seider gaining a higher AAV.
