And of course, these students are free, at ant time, to go where they want. They don't get drafted into a system where someone holds their rights for 4 years. Just because the NHL players are initially put into a system which, compared to everyone else, is oppressive to start with, I don't see how we can begrudge them the small amount of flexibility some have to attempt to alter than course.

Fox chose to wait 4 years so he could chose his employer. It's his right, and I can't see why he should have been forced to take a less desirable opportunity elsewhere.
