I sure hope I am wrong, and hopefully he can improve in his senior year with added ice time and responsibilities.
If not, that 2nd rd pick in 2017 will be the better asset.

Whats with all this talk of a 2nd round pick?
A team only receives that compensation if the player REFUSES to sign with said team ala Kevin Hayes.
Don't feel like searching through the CBA but this is from a draft FAQ on hfboards-What are the exceptions to the '30 players per round' rule?
The league will award a compensatory pick to a team that made a bona fide offer to a former first-round selection, but was unable to sign them to an NHL entry-level deal. The team is compensated with a second-round pick for an upcoming draft in the exact same selecting position as when the player was originally drafted. For example, if a club drafts a player fifth overall, but is unable to sign that player despite making a bona fide contract offer, then the club will be awarded the fifth pick in the second round of a subsequent NHL Draft.[/CODE]
