Nope.
If an American is the best player available you take him - hard stop.
In 2011 the best non-American taken after Gaudreau was Emil Molin
In 2016 the best non-American taken after Tkachuk was Alexander Nylander.
In 2016 the best non-American taken after Fox was Cliff Pu.
Doesn’t matter if the American might leave in UFA or might not sign, in the end if they are the best player you’ll get more value out of them than a bust.
