No doubt.
Imagine using Johnny Gaudreau (4th rounder that played here 9 years), Adam Fox (3rd rounder that won a Norris, and was worth more than his 3rd rounder status), and Matthew Tkachuk (home run at 6th OV) as reasons not to draft Americans.
Those outcomes are telling me we should draft more Americans.
