It's the NHLs job to find their players, wherever they may be, and to find ways to cooperate with the organizations their taking them from. The CHL and NCAA both have issues revolving around the rights of players. The NCAA is widely known, but the CHL can be a dangerous road too, and they are, more often than not, dealing with minors/high school kids.
It's only a deterrent if you don't want to sign with the team that drafted you.
