The KHL has some interesting rules about joining if there is a lockout
From PHT:
The Russian pro league announced today they’ve got a set of qualifications to help thin the possible herd of incoming foreign players. While KHL teams can claim up to three players, said players’ resumes need to have a few curious things on it (link in Russian)
– 150 NHL games played over the last three seasons
– A national team member in one of the last two World Championships, World Junior Championships, or Olympic teams
– A Stanley Cup winner or finalist or an NHL award winner of another kind
And who said Europeans don't take shit seriously? Never really gave a shit about the KHL, but if there is a lockout, and it drags on, maybe the KHL will get a direct tv package.
