I don't think anyone is arguing that major junior players can't refuse to sign and become free agents. The argument is that the parameters of the 2 systems are different enough that the situation presents itself more in one system than the other. I think that's a straight up fact. If it's not, certainly the quality of players that take advantage of the system is different.

The argument is that if the results are different, should the rules be different? Unless this is the intended result, then my opinion is that yeah, the rules should be different. If it is the intended result, then that is a completely different issue (probably a worse one).
