In yesterday’s newsletter (#571), I wrote about Elliotte Friedman’s report over the weekend that the NHL and NHLPA are discussing standardizing draft rights in the wake of the NCAA’s rule change on CHL eligibility:

NHL talking about standardizing draft rights (#571)

Today, I have some news on what those changes are likely going to look like.

Also in today’s newsletter (#572):

• Updates on assistant searches at Quinnipiac and Penn State.

• Former Boston University defenseman David Warsofsky was hired as a head coach in the ECHL, along with former RPI/Canisius head coach Dave Smith.

• More assistant notes in D-III and at Long Island.
