The ushl and nhl recently came to some sort of agreement, I am uninformed on the specific details but they really need to create the exact same rules as CHL. Max of 3 20 year olds, lower roster size, minimum of 3 16 years olds etc. I may be wrong on that last piece, but I know they have to have like 3 16 or 17 year olds on the roster. Also, the nhl should be paying for draft picks developed too. Otherwise all our US kids will have to play CHL.
