I don't disagree with you. I think NHL teams are more content to let players spend a year or two in the NCAA after being drafted because the competition level is higher and it's often a good transition for kids off the ice. A lot of NHL teams keep players up in the NHL, even if they aren't good because they have outgrown the CHL but the transfer agreement provides no flexibility.
Hopefully Hanifin will either get drafted, or simply avoid the CHL although to keep his options open.
Isn't Hanifin the real deal though?
I believe that no matter where he plays next season, he'll be in the NHL at 18.
