I would be more worried if this was his senior year. In order to become a free agent, Johnny would have to wait until August of next year. At this point, it seems very unlikely that he would want to return for another year of school, especially if he wins the Hobey and/or the NCAA title (again). Worst case, Johnny chooses to go back for his senior year, putting up massive red flags. Gaudreau seems like a stand-up guy, and would likely let the Flames know if he was going to wait to become a free agent. At that point, Burke would be able to trade him for a pretty good return. So, again at worst, Johnny is upping his trade value by his continued dominance of the entire NCAA.
