Non North Americans can be over the age of 20 but he is Canadian born.

That was my understanding too, he will be too old at the date the next draft is held.
Is Thomas Milic eligible for the 2023 NHL Draft?
Milic will turn 20 years old in April of 2023. Therefore, he is not eligible for the 2023 draft, as all North American players must be under 20 years old by December of the draft year in order to be selected at the draft.
However, he is considered an undrafted free agent, so any NHL team can sign him to a contract at any point.
