Does this affect the Flames draft rights for Mattson?

The CBA says that a team holds a player's rights for 4 years after the draft if he becomes a College player within 2 years after his draft. If he's pushing back college for another year, that means he won't play a college game until more than 2 years after his draft.

Do the Flames' rights expire next June like they would with a player drafted out of the CHL, or is he still considered a College player because he declared his intent to go to UND, even though he has deferred entry for a couple of years?
