I totally get what his mom is saying though, I remember talking to Klimchuk's mom about something similar, and the pressure that agents and teams can put on kids at times like this can be huge. Johnny's mom, like most, wants what's best for her son and the NHL seems like a huge scary step, and sounds like her concern is whether he can handle the pressure.
That said, he's 20. Appreciate the concern ma, but he's gotta make this decision on his own. Surely this is what he's been working for, to play in the big leagues. Why not jump at the opportunity now? Why wait?

I hope so. The kid's a hockey player. Nothing left for him at the college level.
