There may no policy against a particular nationality, but rather a general thought from one of the heads that certain nations may not worth being pursued. Especially if the flames are tight on scouting resources and they are prioritizing how to deploy their resources. I’d wager it’s a combination of biases though. Certainly if I were in charge and I had resource constraints Germany wouldn’t be high on my scouting list unless there was an obvious standout to go there. As a fan I do wonder how the flames stack up against other teams with their scouting budget.
