This is going to sound like I'm Don Cherry but to me it's time to consider not drafting Americans anymore. They all just leave as soon as they are 27. Tkachuk is not going to stay either.
Sounds a bit dramatic but I would focus on Western Canadian players who have roots here.

I know people are not super rational right now the day after being jilted by Johnny, but let's take a step back here. So you'd rather the Flames not taken a chance at Johnny at all with the fear he may sign elsewhere 8 years later because he's American? Lets not forget, Johnny's a 4th round pick, so Flames could have drafted a plethora of different guys and taken a chance on them instead.
