The Rangers have completely denied this.

I still don't see why this is a big deal he's going to school unless he's sure he's playing in the NHL and he needs to develop. Let him get better and he'll play for us no big deal.

Indirectly, it's a big deal because a draft pick can elect to play out his college years and never sign a contract with the team that drafted him. Once that period is over the player becomes a UFA as he enters the league as a 22 year old (See Wheeler, Blake, gives-finger-to-Coyotes). But directly I don't see the big deal. And it's being denied all over the place with the Rangers threatening to sue the paper that came up with the $200k story. m.

Do junior teams have that much money? I guess it comes from the owners.

some ohl teams make 2-3 million a year in profit, it was well known and talked about that Dale Hunter actually made more each year from owning and coaching the London Knights than he did from coaching in the NHL.

I believe this is only if they play a year of junior prior to going to school.

You cant play a year of junior and then go to school, playing in the CHL eliminates all NCAA eligiblity. If you play 4 years of NCAA hockey, you can choose to become a free agent.

"If a Player drafted at age 18 or 19, who had received a Bona Fide Offer in accordance with Section 8.6(a)(ii) above, becomes a bona fide college student prior to the second June 1 following his selection in the Entry Draft and does not remain a bona fide college student through the graduation of his college class, his drafting Club shall retain exclusive rights for the negotiation of his services until the fourth June 1 following his selection in the Entry Draft." In plain English, that means that if a team drafts a player from a junior hockey league who plays one or two more seasons of junior before starting college hockey, then that team only retains his rights for four years, and not until his graduation year, as is the case with players going directly into college. EDIT: Junior not necessarily refering to CHL.

If Trouba plays 4 years of college hockey, he will become a free agent. But I think Trouba plays at most 3 years before the Jets offer him a NHL roster spot.

The Jets hold his rights for 4 years or until he graduates.
The loop hole is if a player plays in some junior league for a year, then goes to school. The 4 years would run out prior to their graduation meaning if they leave school early, they are automatically a UFA. This does not apply to Trouba.

I don't quite understand that... why would a team lose rights to a drafted player at all? Is there any practical purpose for the loophole?

I think it was established after Lindros' famous "I won't play for Quebec" in 92. They want talented players in the league so if they don't sign a contract with a team after a certian amount of time they are up for grabs.

It is also to encourage players to go the NCAA route instead of playing major junior. By getting more top tier talent into the NCAA programs it helps grow the sport in the USA.
