Not sure if it is more the HC or GM who is responsible in each case. Barker singed some proven NI starters (Bourke & Bulcke) this off-season; Desjardins signed Gascon-Nadon as a NI starter FA. GMs might have a lot of say in drafting strategy too - both teams have a good number of draft picks starting/playing for them. The coaches might have to have more faith/confidence in their NI talent to deploy start more than the minimum 7 that some teams pre-determine is only needed. Ottawa has a number of Canadian coaches; Argos do not.
