The kid probably planned on his contract ending after next season cause that is when he plans on coming to NA.

Right, we can afford to be patient with the 6th pick. Giving him another year or two of development should be expected while any of the first 4 may be able to step right in with their NHL team.
That extra two years to sign Euros takes away some of the players bargaining power such as we ran into with Tom as well.
