Christian Humphreys Jumps Ship Is the NCAA CHL Partnership a Mirage

The recent news of Christian Humphreys leaving Michigan for the OHLs Kitchener Rangers raises some eyebrows. Is this a sign of things to come with the new NCAA CHL partnership supposedly opening doors in 2025 Or is this just an individual case

Humphreys, a draft pick of both the Avalanche and the Rangers, saw limited ice time at Michigan. Was this a contributing factor to his decision Does this speak to the level of competition in the NCAA versus the OHL Many touted the NCAA CHL partnership as a win-win. But is this move a signal that players might still prefer the CHL route for development especially with immediate playing time on the table

This also begs the question what does this mean for other NCAA prospects with CHL options Will we see an exodus of players seeking more prominent roles Or is Humphreys an outlier

Lets discuss. What are your thoughts on this move Is it a smart decision for Humphreys What does this mean for the future of NCAA CHL relations Share your insights and predictions below
