I'm hoping this NCAA thing will be a "shiny new toy" for a couple seasons and then the exodus of high end players will taper off to being more just 20 year olds making the jump, and not as many players like Reschny and Verhoff.
The money will always be tempting of course, but there will be negatives to making the jump as well, I'm sure.
And the up side for the CHL IMO will be more high school aged US players coming to the CHL at 16/17 because the door won't be closed on them going NCAA anymore like it used to be.
