If you draft an American, the probability of you ending up in a MT situation after a few short years is higher.

Ok lets do that and look at the facts.
Gaudreau was here for 9 years.
Tkachuk was here for 6 and returned a haul. Might have been here much longer with a different 2nd contract.
Fox was NY or nothing cause he wouldnt sign in Carolina either.
Not every American is the same like they are some stereotype.
I hear there are a couple Swedes that want out now too....maybe we should quit drafting Euros as well?
