Yeah, without actually having the stats, I would guess that the top end guys typically don't finish the 4 years.
Honestly though, if it weren't for his brother joining BC, I would guess that he would have turned pro this summer. Obviously he needs more size before he is NHL-ready, but a season with professional trainers and coaches would have helped him immensely.
IMO, the primary reason he is in BC this year is to play with his brother. I don't see his remaining in college makes him a flight risk in the slightest.
