Let's say he doesn't sign at the end of his current season and goes back to finish up at BC. I have read that he will be a UFA if Calgary doesn't sign him before AUG 1st. I have read that this differs from the Shultz situation, in that he was a UFA on Jul 1st. Is there really any difference in their situations and the amount of flexibility the have when they hit their ufa date?

Aug 15 for Gaudreau.
I believe Schultz became a UFA as soon as his NCAA season ended due to him playing a year in the USHL after being drafted. So his final 3rd NCAA season was his 4th year as an unsigned prospect. Gaudreau went straight to BC so this doesn't apply to him.
