" The players then have the option to sign with the club that drafted them or sit out until they become eligible for the draft again. "
Yeah, and miss out on an entire season. There is NO logic in that, and therefore very little meaningful choice.
"They can also go the FCP route and demand their rights to be traded."
Yeah, and be blackmarked as whiny, selfish, and too much trouble (unless you are a prime time player like Eric Lindros who was a surefire star player).
"If I want to work at Volvo I go to an interview and hope to get the job, and the point is that you can't always choose or like the rules of a certain organization. You might as well start complaining about on-ice rules: "I don't like the hooking penalty; players should be allowed to hook because they're living in a free world and hooking isn't against the law." Call it a silly comparison, but it's exactly the same thing."
Your comparisons are horrible. btw, 'Hooking' is akin to physical violence which is ILLEGAL.
Game over.
