Your location says Canmore, but you favour European/Russian players to NA players in virtually every circumstance, so I just have to ask.

I'm Canadian. Love Canadian players too. As far as my appreciation for Euro/Russian players go, Don't really have an answer for ya. As far as this year goes, there were some truly stellar Euros throughout. The first round. From Barkov and Lindholm, to Nichushkin and Wennberg I was more fascinated with them over some of the others. Heck, even outside of Jones, the euro d prospects stood out to me more than morrisey and pulock.
Edit: As far as Nichushkin goes, would have been nice to break the Russian phobia withal such talent as he possessed. Still pumped we have Monahan though. Add to that being Canadian we get our home grown talent shown far more often than the Euros and Russians. Maybe it's the unknown factor.
