And this won't be played on the level of an All Star game. I am pretty confident in saying that.
I'm not fond of the idea of a young stars team. And while in principle the Euro Stars team is a better idea given the thinning of competition outside of the main 6 nations, I think that team will generate less cohesion than the NHL Under 23s.
I'll watch.

Sure, but they won't really be beating Team Canada, they'll be beating Team Canada minus a some of their best young players, aka themselves.
