I don’t understand the reluctance to come over. The way I see it, you can’t develop into a really good prospect unless you go through the entire program from the very early days until the under-20, and this program wouldn’t be there for you if not for the national federation.

Then when you are good enough to make the World Juniors, this is your graduation. Everything after that is payback time, Unfortunately, many players don’t see it that way.
