Does Buff's signing today point to the type of players that the Jets should be more focusing on attracting, to be able to retain them for long term commitments? If we draft or trade for players born in Boston, Detroit (Michigan for that matter), Toronto, Vancouver are we asking for problems? When they become established players and headed to UFA it seems to me that they are more likely to be attracted to the Big City Lights than let's say a young man from Regina or Thunder Bay. If all things were equal, it seems to make sense to me that we are far more likely to retain the prairie or mid-western boy.
I think of what Buff said today (liking the area and close to home) and what Hamonic wants to do, is this something we should be evaluating closer and including in our efforts on developing in our long term team development strategy?
