I don't think it is a difficult decision to remain in school for the last year, finish your degree, and then have your pick of NHL teams to play for.
Other than that, I have no worries about drafting anyone from anywhere. I prefer Canadians just so I can cheer them on in international competitions more easily, but that's about it. There have been lots of Americans happy to live here, including the GM. There have been lots of other internationals as well.

I have reservations about players that play for the US National Development Team too. They seem to have very strong ties with each other and to the Eastern USA region.
