Obviously if they never play an NHL game they'd lose their rating entirely. I imagine it could work such that if they didn't play I the NHL in their first year after the draft, they would drop a similar amount to someone that played a season overseas.
I don't know how ratings are done for players that miss a year, but I think top prospects shouldn't have to wait 3 years to get a playable rating if they are in the NHL in their first or second season.
