Player drafted out of WHL/QMJHL/OHL:
- team has the rights for two years, player would then re-enter the draft, the new team has the rights for two years again, then the player becomes UFA
Player drafted out of USHL/NCAA:
- team has the rights for four years, then the player becomes UFA
Player drafted out of Europe:
- team has the rights for four years, then the player becomes UFA
maybe I've missed something, but where's the supposed loophole? A player can refuse to sign and become UFA after 4 years in all of the above scenarios (unless I got something wrong).

they are officially called "family advisors", but that's pretty synonymous with an agent.
