With that big grain of salt though go ahead and add a dash of excitement. This was one of the best development camps the Flames have had and we were all very excited about our prospects that were in attendance. In that crowd, Jooris still managed to turn some heads.
Being 23 might have helped him out a little bit but we had more kids at camp that were 21 or 22 (or older) than we had 18 year olds.

By the time the college guys become available the Flames will have gone through the trade deadline. I expect that we will be trying to make deadline trade for picks / prospects and not for players that will count against our 50 contract limit.
If the team were to teleport through time from today to the last month of the season then I could see a reason for your concern but as it is there is a lot of time for transactions to take place to make this a zero-risk signing.
