I don't understand why NCAA players aren't forced to re-enter the draft if they choose not to sign.

I like the rule as it is. The draft itself is wildly anti-democratic & anti-capitalist. Imagine coming out of University and being told you could
only work for one company in your field. Sure, sure, there are extenuating circumstances in sports, but the notion that an adult can't have any agency over where they choose to work is insane.
Four years of rights-ownership coming out of the draft is exactly the right amount for the NHL.
