The ability for major junior teams to sign contracted European players who want to play junior in North America is intended - at one point, we weren't allowing those players to sign with European teams at all, but that led to too many issues with the junior-preference players having odd career paths if there was no interest in them from a CHL team. It works much better to let them be signed, but allow them to leave if they get an offer to play for a junior team - and it's not unrealistic, since a contract signed as a 17-year-old would be of questionable enforceability. But there really should be some notification if it happens to a user-run team; I think that's been on the to-do list for a while but I'll see if we can bump it up.
