KHL players with NHL contracts, probably not, no
i assume AHL players are fine seeing as how the NHL has consented to them being assigned to the AHL.

Even if it didn't concern guys with active NHL contracts. What about a guy like Tarasenko?

God the CBAs are such ****. ELC players haven't earned the right to be locked out yet. L. O. L.
yeah pretty much, but i guess if your contract says you're AHL eligible then that's where you're playing (unless the NHL allows you to play in Europe). now that i think about it, i guess they're compelled to play in the AHL, otherwise we might have heard something about solidarity strikes or something by now? i know a few guys aren't playing, Skinner is one, might be another but i forget, but permission from the Canes was needed there.

As to your second point, perhaps you don't realize how big hockey is in russia. Approx half of Brooklyn is from Moscow/SPb.
i know hockey is big in Russia, i wasn't aware there are a lot of Russians in Brooklyn. but if you have an event like that, it's more than just selling out the game. it's intended to be a big event like the Winter Classic or something, i just don't feel like the public at large would really care, especially if there are no big NHL stars playing.
