Will Jack Eichel Get Licensed for NHL 16?

Because of the NHL's "after one game" rule for incoming rookies, do you suppose we'll see a fully-licensed Jack Eichel in an NHL 16 roster update should he turn pro? This would mean a front end photo, cyberface and commentary.

I don't think he'll be fully licensed until NHL 17 (or later should he stay at BU) because of his college background. The MLB has the same rule and never made exceptions, apart from only two players (to my knowledge): Masahiro Tanaka, who had player-specific commentary after the first roster update the year he debuted in The Show, and Jorge Contreras, who was included out of the box in MLB 2K3. Neither player had cyberfaces or front end photos until the following game.

As a Buffalo resident and local sports fan, I'm used to optimism and wishful thinking...but the harsh reality, as always, may just be "wait 'til next year".
