I have to imagine that they'll accept a lower offer if the alternative is losing him for nothing. It's a dangerous game to play to let him go to free agency, loyalty in sports is somewhat overrated. Losing him for nothing would be catastrophic. I do think he'll get dealt, but not till maybe Tuesday afternoon or even into Wednesday, just to make everyone sweat it out even more.

Even if Seguin and Kessel are a wash (and they're not, Seguin is clearly going to be better), that means they got a potential top D man for free. Not to mention the 5 years means a lot in terms of UFA and money on contracts. It is probably in the top 10 most lopsided trades ever.
