This is not a loophole in my mind. They're subject to the same rules as CHL and European drafted players. You take a chance on any player, they don't owe teams anything - and forcing players to sign with the team that drafted them is a bad idea.
If anything, the NCAA needs to change their rules to allow players to make money while still in the NCAA system. Similar to CHL - the contract slides if they stay in college, but they can collect a signing bonus. It's ridiculous that the NCAA does that to their players given how much money they make off of college sports.
