Wonder if they will complain about which nhl teams drafts them? ( if they reach that). Curious to see how this goes

I don’t think a US court has any jurisdiction in anything to do with the CHL where the majority of the teams are based in Canada and all the three leagues’ management structure is in Canada. Even if it is successful in a US court how could any ruling be enforced in Canada as we are not under the jurisdiction of US law? This appears to another frivolous lawsuit by two disgruntled players that will never go anywhere.
