Not a loophole at all.
Any prospect that would be good enough to not only get a contract offer but to get two (after being redrafted) would without a doubt have a place to play. Any number of European leagues would sign him or he could sign a PTO with a NA minor-pro team... worst case is that he spends a year availing himself of the tuition money CHL guys get and plays CIS for a year.
There really is no difference. It's 4 years regardless of where you come out of.
