CHL still the best league purely for developing young players because of the schedule and more physical play. That remains their selling point but obviously expect changes in the financial model.
Did you expect the NHL to do something to protect major junior hockey in their CBA? That’s not exactly their mission.
The so called loophole (it never actually was a loophole) is gone, doesn’t matter what you do after being drafted. Which is as it should be IMO.
