Then how has he been playing games in the U.S this whole time? You are so wrong right now.
Daugavins was playing for and getting paid by a Canadian organization. He played in the US, but was still getting paid by the Canadian organization. i.e. you work for a company that sends you to occasionally work in a foreign country, you are still being employed and paid by your company. Since professional sports can't be completely compared exactly, because you can't exactly be 'traded' to another company. So, let's say you get offered a better job in the foreign country by a foreign company. You will need to provide (and be approved for) the proper paperwork.
Daugavins, once employed by the Ottawa Senators, is now is employed by a US organization, the Boston Bruins and needs the proper paperwork to do so...
Allowing Latvian citizens to work in the US, usually takes more time than allowing a Canadian to work here.
Make sense?
