it's not a loophole. If a CHL player refuses to sign, he re-enters the draft two years after the draft ... NCAA players have to play for four years before the team loses their rights.
It sucks for the team when it happens, but it's just not a loophole that needs to (or even can) be closed. At least they were able to flip him in a deal that turned out pretty damn fine for the Flames.
