If he isn't signed by the draft then they have to trade his rights, no?
Flames can probably turn him into a first+ this year with all the hype.
Union muscled him out of the game. NHL will be an order of magnitude tougher.
I am not saying that he won't work out. Just that there is a big chunk of risk, and maybe a 1st and prospect would be less risky (albeit maybe less upside).
