The difference though is an NCAA player has added incentive to wait, and that's to finish school. CHL and Euro players don't get that bonus.
Finishing school is a great incentive, I just wish it didn't waste a pick for whatever team drafted them.
I'm sure I've said it before but I'd like to see one extra year before a drafted player goes free agent. That way a player can finish school if they want, without the pressure of being a free agent. Then if they really do want to be a free agent they have to go play in europe for a year or something
