I didn't reallize that those draft eligible players where members of the NHL or the NHLPA. The needs of the league's members should be met before the needs of those outside the league. Why not just raise the draft age to 19? I don't think that it would be to hard to collectivly bargin it into the CBA, considering that the PA has already given up the farm. It would be better in the long run anyway: an extra year would give teams a clearer picture of what a prospect might be.
