I don't see how this is different.

BTW, Johnny used the system to burn an extra year off of his ELC. No one seemed to have a care about that. If the Flames hadn't allowed that to happen, he likely won't have signed. It got him to big money as a RFA (and eventual UFA) one year earlier.
It's super different

A student looking for post-secondary work is incredibly different to a player choosing the NCAA route for their development.

Are companies out there making career path opportunities to students before they've cracked a book? Do you think NHL teams aren't in communication with their NCAA draftees offering counselling, motivation and feedback along their development? I'm also sure it'd be just as well-received a decision if those students decided to tell that company to take a hike as they graduated.
