Seems like an unnecessary risk. You'll get paid, kid. Think longer term.

I'm sure his agent and the team have clearly discussed the fact that he's going to get icetime or he just bolts to the WHL to finish the year.
The thing about the NHL is that the risk of dropping from 1st overall isn't that bad. In other leagues your salary is heavily tied to your draft position which isn't really the case in the NHL.
