It's really the NHL that is bizarre. Drafting these kids at 17/18 when majority of them are years away from being in the league is crazy.
Draft would be a lot better if you brought the minimum age up.

I believe the league looked at raising the draft age some years back, but someone (possibly the PA or the CHL) threatened to bring a suit for age discrimination under Canadian law. That problem really doesn’t arise for the other sports.
