Exactly, it is logic they wanting NHK, but Anaysnake is implying that French fed is conditioning to let P/C going to NHK only if Japan send to Yuzuru to France.
That's not what's implied by Anyasnake. Canada and USA are automatically out of the picture because the other world medalists come from those countries and will skate at those events. With Russia it's unlikely they'd do their GPs back-to-back. They were in China this season, so that makes NHK the most probable choice for them.
