Well
the NHL is not like the NBA
there are no "garunteed"(sp) contracts, the team must sign the player. if he is not signed in the 365 days(or some time, im not sure what it is), he goes back into the draft and the team gets another draft pick (usually something like 4th round)

as a result
being draft does NOT equal going to the NHL, or going to the NHL's farm team
if a player wants to continue playing college, he simply does not sign a contract and goes back and plays college, and then signs once the year is over.. or, I suppose it might be possible for him to sign a contract that comes into effect once hes done playing

al montoya choose to go back to college before the lockout started
