I think he absolutely would. As someone mentioned, he got about as much attention last night at the public championship celebration as any of the aces. He was able to play on the 2nd line with Stamkos out, but he's a 3rd liner at risk of being a 4th liner in Tampa (depending on if anyone impresses in camp) if he stays the next season. I'd like to think both parties would prefer to avoid the nuclear option as well.

Simply put, that NTC is likely gone if someone wants him now that he has a ring.
