per Friedman on HNIC.

He said the NHL has informed GMs that the NCAA is seriously considering letting CHL players to play in the NCAA after their CHL eligibility is done.

There may have to be some CBA negotiations because currently players drafted from the CHL have their rights held by NHL teams for 2 years and USHL/CJHL/NCAA for 4 years and the rules may have to be adjusted.
