Clearly college draft picks should just be forced to sign with the team that drafts them.
Kidding aside, I'm not sure why so many have a problem with this, it's really the only fair way to do it. As you alluded to, they are subject to essentially the same rules as the chl, euro, etc.
One tweak I would make is that if the player is a 2nd round pick, you can get a 3rd as compensation. If it's a 3rd, you get a 4th. Kind of the way they deal with a 1st rounder doing it, but extending it a couple of rounds. That's about as far as I would go though.
