Pretty sure lots of Canadians would be up in arms if the country's top young athletes were heading overseas to play in another league. Most people are all for the free market until it hurts their own interests.

However, this is a bit rich coming from Fetisov. The guy made how many millions playing in the NHL? I suppose he can say he didn't sign with the NHL until he was 31, but it's not as though he could have come over sooner. Would a 24-year-old Fetisov forego the money and status of competing in the NHL to stay in Russia?
