Interesting article. Since the NHLPA might not be in the best position to care or really be responsive, could bodies such as the CHL put in rules that say players under X age with an agent aren't eligible? Would they be willing to do such a thing and risk a young player calling their bluff and playing USHL or something else instead? That could work if they aren't able to get a countrywide rule in place like they talked about in Sweden.
As an American I am not versed on the specifics of the CHL so maybe something like that isn't possible or whatever, so don't crucify me if it's a dumb idea from that standpoint!
