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.

How is that a bad idea? Sure at the end of the day no one can force them to sign with the team that drafted them, but there should be significant compensation to the team if the player decides not to sign with the team. Canadian teams need to be protected from this.
