Great theory, too bad the myth that there was ever territorial rights to draft French Canadian players is just that.. a myth. Every team complains about a lack of calls, ultimately it's just excuses and whining. Montreal's dominance was ended by league expansion diluting the player talent pool amongst a larger number of teams, nothing more.
