I think if that organization drafted you, and (assuming) has been there to help you improve throughout the years. You should sign with them and then if you aren't getting what you want you can ask for a trade or something might happen in a year or two.
I do think that Hayes not signing in Chicago is a win/win for both of them. Seems like this Hayes thing is just a headache, I'd just wash my hands of it and take the second. Then Hayes could go where ever he wanted to go. Whether it be in Florida with his brother, Calgary for his BC buddies, or anywhere else to get NHL playing time.
