Everyone thinks the next generation is less hard nosed than their generation. Always been that way; simply being another guy to claim that doesn't make you out-of-this-world bright.
Fact is, his point isn't too accurate either. Yes there's been many accomplished European players, but that's because it's a worldwide sport. This 2026 draft is thought to be one of the best in years; yet every one of the top 10 picks will be American-born.
