Yeah when a kid plays with the CHL, he is no longer eligible to play NCAA unless the player pays for absolutely everything and doesnt play anything more than an intrasquad game....so for many the tier 2 leagues offer good competition while the NCAA remains an option.
It really depends on the player...they may be good enough for CHL play, but simply have alternate goals.
And the CHL leagues all hold bantam drafts just like the NHL, but also can sign any kid that they want who is good enough and not drafted.
