I agree with these proposed changes, but, I also understand why the NHL would be against them. The CHL is the main exporter of product to the NHL, and the NHL will oppose any changes that they feel will hurt this flow of talent.

It will allow them to develop further, which in the long-run is beneficial for the NHL.
