This is a miss conception. Reality is outside of Tkachuk - 'Captain America', Some American players would rather raise their families in the united states, closer to family, no boarders ect. Noah is at that age, getting settled down long term is a important priority for a % of his generation.
Noah going to a destination in the North East/East is probably ideal for him.
We might not feel the same sentiment..."a professional athletes making millions to play a kids game - it shouldn't matter" but it matters and people are being more open about it.
He's been a great player for the flames for 5 years, good in the community. You can't really ask anymore of the guy. His game is what his game is - steady.
