I'm willing to bet he's going to get closer to his asking in the summer price by not signing a contract today. I wouldn't accept the Leafs offer if I was him knowing that I'm going to be traded to a market I may not be thrilled about. If he's going to end up in a market like Carolina for a good chunk of his career he may as well make sure they didn't get him on what he perceives as a discounted deal.
