If he goes to the NCAA next season and plays all four years of college, the Flames would hold his rights until August 15, 2029. However, because there's a one-year gap between his draft and his freshman year, he could announce he was leaving college early and become a free agent as early as June 1, 2028 (the same loophole Schultz used back in the day).
