He could spend time in the gym bulking up, or he could finish his degree, but those are things he can do over a longer period of time as a pro.
And on the bulking up - it would be good to see how his game transitions to the pro level before he undertakes any more physical transformations - being more of an elusive player with vision, he doesn't want to bulk up in a way that inhibits his movement on the ice

There isn't anyway.
He just put up the most productive season in the NCAA in more than a decade (closer to two).
His two line-mates are both moving on, meaning he would spend next year playing with a couple newbs
In all likelihood, the team won't be anywhere near as good and his situation will not be as good.
That is a breeding-ground for bad habits to creep into his game
It is a pretty clear and undisputed fact that young players need to be challenged in order to keep improving. Returning to BC entails a high degree of risk that he would have a wasted season, or even a regression.
I would think he will hear similar comments from his agent
