I much preferred Olympic hockey before the NHL started to participate. I would love to see the NHLers stop going.
What I would like to see is Hockey Canada and USA Hockey come up with an agreement AHL much like USA Hockey has with the USHL where the National Development program is a team in the league. Send this team to the World Championships, to the Olympics... etc.
NHL teams could loan players to the National programs and they could sign AHL free agents to AHL deals... etc.
