1. And the most European team!

2. That is interesting!

3. isn’t Kirill technically Asian?

4. Just another reason to love this team more. Fuck the blue jays, I hope they go 0-4 in the World Series, sorry Spurgeon and Middleton.

5. *is

6. Vancouver is the least Canadian Canadian team

7. I wonder what % of each American make up is Minnesotan

8. I feel like this has been true through most of the franchise’s history. They’ve always liked drafting Swedes and Finns, and they seem to attract a lot of American free agents.

   In fact, they’ve only drafted one Canadian in the first round since 2012 (Lambos).

9. Do Trenin, Tarasenko, Kirill, and Yurov count as Europeans though? I feel like Russian should be in its own category separate from Europe.

10. Genuinely surprising, but it makes sense with our preference towards Swedes and Russians. If we had one Finn we’d be covering the Scandinavian gamut

11. Eurobros stay winning

12. I guess the truth isn’t allowed here. The Mods always protect their handlers

13. good Canada is for nerds

14. This doesn’t show the 1 Asian we have.

15. team needs more big canadian whl boys to fit the mold bg wants

16. W

17. As a Canadian Wild fan, this displeases me
