I don't think there's any risk of any of them playing out the full four years.
With the schedule being unique this year (going to the end of April), it will be interesting to see the college players and if/when they sign. Frozen 4 is April 7-9. The Sabres play 11 games from the 10th to the end of the season. Pretty big window to play a game to burn that year.
