Of the 32 1st rd picks just this last draft,
14 of them were CHL
Thats almost half.
The rest had a handful each....USHL was 3 IIRC, same with NCAA, then euros with the rest who came from 5 different leagues.
Great players can come from all parts of the world and take different paths, no question.
But the big majority come from major junior leagues based out of Canada.
Just the reality.
