Likely none of the CHL players would come into D2 or D3.    They are above that level.

The change,  will certainly take away some D1 scholarships form Canadian kids that were planning on them as well in 2025/2026, but net/net will result in more Canadians in D1--   I shouldn't even be calling them kids anymore, because CHL contract restrictions will result them in being 21 year old Freshman!

I'll explain it this way - There will be somewhere between 80 and 100 CHL players born in 2004, who will be going to the NCAA next year.   When they signed CHL contracts in 2020 and 2021, at the time they thought their NCAA dreams were officially dead.    So if we were under the old NCAA rules, those 100 D1 players would instead be a mix of Canadian and US Kids.   (Say 30/70 as a guess).    So 30 Canadian kids who would have scholly's under the old system lose them, and 70 US Kids lose them.     They are replaced by 100 Canadians.

Likely none of the CHL players would come into D2 or D3.    They are above that level.    But the pushdown effect will really strengthen D2 with a batch of kids that would have formerly been D1 players (both Canadian and US)
