The 10 year rule limits lots of North Americans who may have only played a few times for their country at IIHF events.

I'm not really familiar with Ragulin, but hard to argue with the rest.

The 10 year rule will knock out most of the Summit Series players on the Canadian team as well....the Guys on XM were wondering if the 10 year rule was a way to get around the NHL's effect on stardom in hockey or if it was just a way to make sure that the Summit series wouldn't be the determing factor and another shot at the Soviets/Russia.

The basic idea as i understood about the 10 year rule, is to make sure that only such people could be chosen who had major impact on international hockey, so by playing 4-5 times isnt enough. People remember those who are there on a lot of events not those who show up sometimes.
