If Hayes had stunk it out this year, there is no promise that the Hawks would have offered him a contract... why does Hayes need to sign now that he is in demand.

I agree with all of what you said but I wouldn't mind a source for this. Do you mean player that was passed over in the draft previously? I'm honestly not sure what happens with players that are drafted after their first year of eligibility.
