Maybe if this law actually got passed prior to the draft... But Svechnikov seems to be a player who genuinely wants to play in North America. He came over to play in the Q when, by all accounts, he probably could have been playing in the KHL by now making pretty good money. He also seems to be saying the right things. Sure, it could all be a ruse but if so then he's pretty committed to it.
I would trust the scouts to make the right call, though. If they don't draft him because of those concerns then I won't fault them.
