By doing this he becomes a restricted free agent next year, as opposed to a unrestricted free agent.

I was under the impression every draft choice that plays in college must be signed within 30 days of finishing college (or at least deciding to leave school) or they become a UFA. It's pretty standard as far as I know.

Its not as simple as that. There is a certain timeframe. Kasdorf's case is a little different since he red shirted but others are more versed in the rules that apply.
