This lawsuit should force a lot of information out in the open, and the result will undoubtedly benefit those future CHL players who despite being gifted, aren't able to make it to the NHL or other professional league. Its going to force more transparency about how much money is made on the backs of their talent.
At a minimum its going to improve the scholarship... bare minimum. Given the thousands of Canadian kids its going to help, and though I love what the WHL brings to the table, I support this class action whole heartedly. Its going to force a conversation which is long overdue. That conversation will still be imbalanced, in favour of the CHL, but even as a usually management-siding guy, I really think this needs to happen.
