Americans, especially east coast americans and russians seem to have the biggest problem with Canada. It gets harder when it's your top top guys though, obviously passing on Tkachuk in the draft just because he's an American is not smart.
For everyone mad about this I'm fairly certain you'll see Treliving make the obvious right move and sell as high as possible now on Tkahcuk. Much more certainty on this team's direction than there was last summer with Gaudreau. If he doesn't do that then I'll agree with everyone and say he's an idiot.
