The cost of flying in players is something teams always watch. Under Bannister the Rougnecks really tried to focus on local guys - and would even find them jobs locally to reduce costs. With the Flames owning there are more fly-ins (e.g. Evans) but they still are focused on Canadian players.
There are some great American players - but it is always a wild card if they will play the NLL season or not. Casey Powell played a handful of games for the Mammoth this year, and Paul Rabil didn't play at all.
Some guys struggle to transition from field to box or vice versa.
So lots of factors at play.
