The NHL hasn't played as few as 65 games in a season since the 1940s.

Also, I would find it hard to consider a tournament between the Stanley Cup champion and random European leagues to be meaningful. Fjarstead just got its ass handed to it by the AHL All-Stars, and couldn't even beat the Toronto Marlies. There probably isn't a team in Europe that could handle a properly motivated NHL champion. Though, of course, I doubt anyone would be properly motivated.
