Worry about Havlat?

Tim Sassone wonders whether it’s too early to start worrying about the Marty Havlat talks?

I thought this might get done quickly since both sides sounded so eager for it to happen, but the longer it goes on the better the chances Havlat hits the open market as a free agent on July 1.
While the Hawks want Havlat back, it looks like it has to be on their terms, which might mean less than the $6 million he earned in each of the last three seasons. Does Havlat want a long-term deal? Do the Hawks want to go shorter? It’s all speculation right now.
Perhaps there will be movement soon with the Hawks having completed their organizational meetings on Thursday.
If the Hawks don’t have a contract done with Havlat by the draft in three weeks, then it might be time to worry if you are a Havlat fan.
