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.

Exactly. Sucks for the fan but in the real world you can't just force people to work for you, unless you are Abraham Lincoln.
The draft is the way the league has decided to orderly and fairly distribute young up and coming talent amongst the teams while honoring basic legal rights and decency. Its not for nerd fans to fill their little pools with. Real people with actual rights.
That you can be blackballed for not wanting to go work somewhere on their terms is brutal.
He should just follow the cliche of an idiot 18 yr olds who wants that new truck with their signing bonus. He dared to actually follow the rules to advocate for himself against (sometimes) piece of crap billionaires who are shrewd negotiators.
