Some of the best punters in the league the last few years have been American in Waters, Leone, Ricky Scmidt, and call him Canadian if you want, but Prefontaine grew up and learned his football as an American.
I'll say it again, if a Canadian is good enough to be the starter, he would be. There is no advantage in keeping an American over a Canadian if they are of equal performance levels.
