Im thinking this is somewhat a ploy to boost his value. By dragging out this process as long as he can, maybe he thinks wherever he signs would give him the opportunity of a spot in the opening lineup. That's all I can think of for a reason aside from what he said in his interviews about school
Also, footnote:
He follows the Oilers and Eskimos on Twitter, and no other NHL teams. Not that it matters, still think he goes to Calgary but if he doesn't I will gladly eat crow.
I imagine every team is telling him the same thing. He'll have a chance to compete for a spot out of camp and if he makes it, great, if not he'll develop in the AHL. I doubt anyone is even close to offering him a guaranteed spot opening night.
