i know they've had dominating players of that caliber throughout history, but lately, the NHL has been flooded with their talent pool. 5 or 10 years ago, you'd probably see about 2 or 3 names from those countries that topped the charts, the european talent pool has significantly grown. same with the nba, lots of euros playing in the league . . . seems like most teams have at least 1.

2nd pick in the NBA draft this year is a Euro.
