I'd argue it's the same reason there shouldn't be a rush to sign him to an extension this summer either.
I think best options are take him to market next trade deadline, or sign him to another 2 or 3 year deal to fill a spot on the roster and trade him later (or see how we're doing then to decide).
Worst option would be give him a 5-8yr extension, just don't see the need to do it when at least half those years we're unlikely competing for a cup, or probably even playoffs.
