I am not certain on residency rules, though that makes some sense. But you are certainly correct on some of the expiry rules. They have to be used within two years of leaving the league, and any player who plays AHL, NHL or top-level Europe forfeits their scholarship. They can play one year in a lower level league, however. If there is one area where improvements are needed, it is scholarship eligibility.
