My thoughts exactly. He and cloutier may be the top 2 in the league. At least in the conversation for top 5.

Would Raftis accept OAs condition; if the seller expects to be absolved of all risk, he may have trouble selling.
Nobody is counting anything. I'm sure they'd do their due diligence and get a commitment before thinking of trading them. Especially after last draft lol.
I don't know if it makes a lot of sense for a player to leave for NCAA in their OA season when they've already got a Canadian education package in their back pocket.
A guy like Mignosa could finish up his career in the O, give it a shot at the AHL/ECHL level and always has the education to fall back on. That gives him a lot more flexibility, a better path to the NHL, and a better quality education than the NCAA route.

depending on the conference, a player not quite ready for the AHL could play at a higher level than the OHL while continuing their education
It seems like an odd career path to play 1 year of NCAA hockey and then go to the AHL.
I guess maybe we'll see some weird things with these new rules, but I expect most players to continue to choose a path and stick with it, rather than switching back and forth.
