He didn't because the Blackhawks didn't try to sign him earlier. You said a top prospect which I assumed meant an Eichel type... who would be signed right away. Hayes is also a bit of exception to the rule since he might not have signed with the Blackhawks due to what happened with his brother.
The team had four years to sign him. The longer they wait, the higher the players leverage gets. Its a gamble by a team.
