Unless the kid has turned a corner and backed it up in two weeks in Abbotsford. Signing him this early gives him tremendous motivation over the summer. Some kids need a threat to create the motivation; others need support - the team saying "we believe you can get there and are prepared to put our pen to paper on it.
He is the latter. I'm glad for him.
