What point are you trying to make? That the Sutter era had a phobia of drafting anyone that wasn't from NA?
You do realize that some of the best players in the world have come from other countries right? Just because past administrations for the Flames have avoided them like the plague, plenty of other teams have capitalized.
But sure, let's just pick the big Canadians regardless of what else can be had, what could possibly go wrong.
