General manager Bob Clarke said yesterday that the two sides were far apart but still talking. Clarke said, however, that the Flyers’ last and best offer was on the table.

And that is an offer that is short of the contract that Gagne is seeking. Gagne said today that without a contract he will not report to camp.

“Right now, I’m hoping that I’m not going to have to do that,” he said. “We still have 2 weeks before training camp, but for sure, I’m not going to go through training camp if I don’t a contract.”

Down to 10 days before camp. I am starting to get a little concern about not having Gagne signed yet, but I still think he will sign before camp.
Also look for an extension for Ken Hitchcock after Gagne is resigned.
