Yes THIS! The only other thing is for a rule to be added that NCAA player rights belong to the team for an extended period of time. I mean it's silly because I don't think NCAA players snubbing their drafting teams happens all that much but it sure seems like it's been a worry for Flames fans a few times in the past number of years... Gaudreau, Fox, Hickey...
