Simply the optics. This weekend is the NCAA big show. It would detract from that if his signing was announced prior to JG winning the award.
Also good presser for the Flames... Announcing they have inked Hobey Baker winner to entry level contract.
You always want to maintain good relationships with developmental leagues. Delaying any announcement is a simple professional courtesy to the NCAA.
