Because he was drafted 4 years ago, I believe he can declare he's leaving college any time after this season ends and become a UFA 30 days later or June 1, whichever is later (see Justin Schultz et al). I don't think anything in the new CBA changes that for him.
If he goes back for one more year of college, the Flames will control his rights until August 15, 2027.
