Because that is basically why Ignatieff lived overseas. He was a "top player" in his field and went to the "majors" basically.
Crosby didn't have a choice. He was drafted by a USA team and it he didn't play there he wouldn't play at all. I suspect Crosby, as most Canadian players, would have been thrilled to have been drafted by a Canadian team and continuing his playing career in Canada. Unlike Ignatieff, he didn't have a choice.
