It's a nightmare for Canadian major junior fans, and general managers / coaches.
Literally every single star player can up and leave for the NCAA if they want a step up in competition now.
I mean Willy sitting there trying to figure out how to plan for next season...it's bad enough when you have 20's like Basha and St. Martin who could be back as overage or go to the AHL but now he's got to sweat over whether a 19 like Lindstrom will be back, or will they even get the likely 1st overall in the 2026 draft Gavin McKenna back for his draft year?
Imagine losing the revenue he will generate as he plays out the 25/26 season. Buildings sold out everywhere when Bedard was playing his draft year.
