I’m aware of that argument, but I think we’ve reached the limit of that talent pool, plus they’ve been pulling goalies for an even longer amount of time. That pool might be even shallower. Add to that that other leagues have more money than they have in the past and can compete, salary wise, while offering an option to having to relocate to North America.
I don’t agree that there are enough bodies, at least not top end, best in the world, bodies.
