I feel like teams like NSH, DET etc...would only be in on Jake if he resigns and I might be wrong but I get the feeling he wants to test FA over the summer not sign a long term contract now...
No desire to have Jeff Carter clutter up the roster unless he brings Pittsburgh's 2024 second with him. And that's only if both Adrian Kempe and Viktor Arvidsson are on the LTIR list until the playoffs (God forbid).

His contract is up in 4 months. They aren't giving up 2nd to get rid of him.
NSH declines. I wouldn't be horribly opposed if NSH was to land him, as a top 6 the looks like Forsberg -ROR - Nyquist / Gunetzel - Novak - Evangalista sounds really good, but that doesn't make sense for NSH at the cost of any premium assets that NSH has, like Kemell.
I'd rather just wait for Tomasino or L'Heureux to take the next step and slot into that spot.
