Man are the Tigers ever getting boned by this rule change. Not only might they potentially lose next years favorite for 1st overall, the Jackets still haven't signed last year's 4th overall Cayden Lindstrom because it's rumored they want him close by next year in the NCAA as well. Next year is his 19 year old season and before the rule change it would have been NHL or WHL for him and since he's missed this season due to injury it's most likely he's not going straight to the NHL next year.
So due to injury and this stupid rule change, the Tigers two year window to win it all might be severely hampered.
