Thing about the history of the franchise is that it used to be a lot easier for the Habs to snag elite French Canadian players prior to expansion. It's just that more difficult to do. Going out of our way to draft players of certain nationalities is not how this org. evaluates players -- if a given French Canadian player becomes available to the Habs, is the best available and could help the team win, then all the better. If that player profile involves a different nationality, then that's what it is.
It's a process, no one knows where the draft or the market will take us, cause in the end, Bergevin and co. are running a pro team and their mission statement is to win, not to win with less talented players on account of compromises that were made. We haven't won in a long time -- sure thing Ron, why don't we make it more difficult on ourselves.
