CHL players that are going NCAA

Spence and Ivankovic are locks. Have also heard Misas but they probably will only bring Luke if Mikey isn't likely going to NHL. They love recruiting brothers just so they get the better one. Penn State has the highest bid on Mckenna right now apparently, we'll see if he picks them or scUM
Any word on the $ amounts of the McKenna bids? In his prospect thread a month ago I guessed that he'd get $300,000.

No I wish I had numbers, hard to get numbers that are accurate in CFB and CBB let alone college puck. I just know PSU has offered the highest as of a few days ago. 300k is probably ballpark but I'm just guessing

Something that hasn't been talked about...I feel like this change might help the Canadian World Junior team in the long run as there will be less talent needlessly pushed into the NHL early just because they are a cheap ELC. Someone like a Benson for example...rather then getting rushed into the NHL at 18 goes south and plays NCAA and actually gets to participate in the World Juniors.
Another aspect is Canada brings a CHL Superteam Team to the World Juniors, and the competition (against good teams) is a step up from what they're used to in league play (same age range, less 17 year olds, superteams in their own right) that all have high quality 18/19 year olds. USA brings NCAA freshmen and it's a step down in competition from power conference play (because there aren't all those 20-23 year olds in their way). Sometimes Canada CHL Superteam can win anyways just because of their talent but many times USA team with a bit less raw talent is right there with them in recent times.

Also would think less players will be rushed to the NHL/ or AHL outside of 1OA picks. Could get more guys that they would have to beg for a loan before
 
Can you explain or link how its been fixed. I know they can technically be paid out in their origin country, but could not get payment in America from American NIL groups.
I think the Edey fiasco was more of an exception then the norm. Just last year BYU paid Egor Demin around $2 million I believe, know for certain he got $1m minimum and he's from Russia, has to be the hardest place to get your visa and NIL. Seems like if they get a work visa as opposed to a student visa they can get NIL. Since CHL players are deemed pros, maybe they can get work visas instead of student ones/ Same thing goes for Kasparas at Illinois. Here's what Chat GPT gave me:

Zach Edey, a Canadian basketball player who starred at Purdue University, was unable to fully capitalize on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities due to U.S. visa restrictions. As an international student on an F-1 visa, Edey was prohibited from earning income through NIL deals within the United States. The F-1 visa allows international students to study in the U.S. but restricts them from engaging in off-campus employment, including NIL activities, unless specific authorization is granted .Sports Business Journal+7SBNation.com+7Bleacher Report+7Bleacher Report+1Fox Sports+1


Edey expressed frustration over these limitations, noting that he missed out on significant financial opportunities that were available to his American teammates . While he could earn passive income, such as a share from jersey sales, and participate in NIL activities when outside the U.S., these options were limited compared to the full range of opportunities accessible to domestic players .Fox Sports+1Sports Litigation Alert+1


In contrast, Egor Demin, a Russian basketball player at BYU, managed to engage in NIL activities despite also being an international student. Demin's situation was unique; he had previously signed a professional contract with Real Madrid at the age of 15, which raised questions about his amateur status. However, BYU's compliance office worked with the NCAA to address these concerns, and Demin was cleared to play . It's possible that Demin's prior professional experience and the specific terms of his engagement with BYU allowed for a different visa classification or special authorization that permitted NIL participation.

True, I believe I saw stuff coming out of Duke the Maluach had very limited NIL.
