Read the context of the post.
My point was that the situation is in fact different between NCAA players and CHL players.
Any system that isn't fair for all needs to be fixed, regardless of your stance on when and if they should be allowed to become free agents.
A fifth year for all players would go a long way to eliminating the issue.
