It affects other leagues as well if it goes too far - it'll put guys who aren't really close to being ready for pro hockey on NHL farm teams, which tends to hurt their development. When it's wrong, after a few years we'll see a big group of ex-college players who had decent potential at one point, but fell apart by getting stuck on a pro roster before they should've been there. And it eats up a bunch of NHL contract slots, which creates problems signing guys who are ready to play.
