08:20 AM ET 09.12 | If in a few days the NHL's players are looking for work, the KHL won't exactly be swinging its doors wide open. [The KHL] can afford to be picky -- and that's just what the Russian league will do. Only "top-rated talent" is welcome, according to Sport-Express' Slava Malamud, and that's according to the league's stated guidelines. That means that if clubs are looking to sign non-Russian NHL players, they must have played in either 150 NHL games, on national teams, in the KHL previously or won a Stanley Cup or individual trophy. The rules will go into effect the day the NHL announces the lockout and be enforced until the situation is resolved. Owners maintain that they'll lock out the NHLPA on Sept. 15.

That's the trouble with guidelines, someone always slips through the cracks. I don't think that there is anything to worry about though. I doubt if the KHL GMs are as dumb as some of the NHL GMs. If they were they'd be in the SHL. (Siberian Hockey League)

"We'll start with Justin Bieber and work our way down." "150 NHL games, won a Stanley Cup, or, you know, sung at a NHL game, or at one time or another have had Tom Brady sport a haircut named after you. As you can see, Justin fits two of these criteria."

Hey Dwarfus, get this done. Don't make me come up there. I am far too big to lose my temper around the likes of you and your equally thick skulled opponent

Not really. The need for skilled manufacturing workers has increased drastically over the last 3 years. Manufacturing may not be what it once was, but it isn't going away.
