Few, if any, players just accept their QO because it's the minimum a team has to offer to keep the player's rights. Most players want something more than the bare minimum. Whether it's a one-way contract, a higher AHL salary, or a multiyear deal, most players aren't going to take the first offer they receive.
I understand that for players in the NHL, but some of the lower tier guys have to be happy to get a QO. Many others sometimes sign for below their QO just for a shot at a call up.

Agostino, Van babrant and Wolfe for example.
