So assuming he goes back for his senior year, he'll graduate in May 2015.
Certainly not inconceivable that he decides to wait until August to sign with a club other than the Flames (ie. Philly which is just up the road from his hometown, or the Devils, or Washington, or one of the NY teams as they are within easy driving distance to his home town in Carneys Point in NJ)
I know he said he intends to sign with the Flames, but he has changed his mind before...

After attending the Flames training camp, Gaudreau started his career in the NCAA with the Division I Boston College Eagles team in the Hockey East conference. He originally signed a Letter of Intent to play with Hockey East rival Northeastern University but opted for Boston College when Northeastern Hockey coach Greg Cronin resigned in June 2011, to take a position with the Toronto Maple Leafs
