Simply put, it IS a loophole

I'm not sure what you mean by "his draft status slides" if he goes to Europe. Only players who play in the KHL have their draft rights extended indefinitely because there's no transfer agreement between the NHL and KHL.
If a player played the year before his draft in the CHL and then goes to play in Europe, his rights are held for 2 years like any other CHL player.
