If you don't extend Chase this offseason, he'll be just as gone as any FA and will request a trade while sitting-in despite being the only one of the three who hasn't requested a trade yet.

You legit think he'll sit out if he doesn't get an extension?
I don't.

Now would that potentially impact his desire to sign a long-term deal if he's tagged? Perhaps, but the tag is something that can be fallen back on if they can't get it done.

Regardless, they can work on an extension with him after FA starts, it doesn't have to be done before Higgins is re-signed.
