Not control, but NCAA players still attend development camps. Also I am sure there is a ton of information they provide to player related to nutrition and training, plus the time waiting for the player to develop to the point of being NHL ready. While receiving a compensation pick for losing the player is nice, it basically sets the team back 4 years in development of a prospect.
