Do The Winnipeg Jets Truly Need To Draft More Canadian Talent?

On tonight's episode, we discuss an unusual topic that's suddenly found a lot of press coverage as a result of the roster changes with the Calgary Flames.

Why do some in Winnipeg believe the Jets are at risk of the same situation as the Flames, when many of the longest-tenured and most successful Jets are American? Against the backdrop of the Hockey Canada scandal, is maintaining the antiquated mindset of drafting Canadian players only truly what's needed in the sport?
