You just raise the draft age by one month each year for the next thirty years. The NBA and NFL don’t allow players to be drafted out of high school, so I’m curious to know why it would be illegal for the NHL to do it.
Yes, we’ll miss out on the odd eighteen year old phenom once every few years, and will have to wait for him to enter the league at 21 or 22 years of age. So what? It’ll make draft picks worth way more.
