Of course he actually has to do that - but it is hard to put on weight and build some mass when you are in the rigors of a pro hockey schedule. Easier to do in college I think.
Caveat: All of this is probably as uneducated decisions as Rhetts is. Ultimately I think only the player and his family no all the factors closely enough to make a decision.
ADDITION: I'm not really worried about him becoming a FA, I think he's the kind of kid that will want to stay with the organization that took a shot on him and has treated him quite well.

I've read interviews and he's well aware of the 'Johnny Hockey' name and that Calgary fans are excited about him becoming a member of the Calgary Flames. I'm hoping he wants to go to a place where the fans care and where he will be appreciated. I really hope he's not going down the path of those guys that shafted the teams that thought enough of them to draft and invest in them.
