I actually think there will be two groups that get hurt the most here:
(1) CIS teams. A lot of CHL players, like Whitehead, are going to opt to go to NCAA after their junior eligibility ends.
(2) Younger players. The above players from (1) are going to displace a lot of younger players who would have previously been playing in the NCAA. They're probably going to have to play more years in the USHL.
