I'm pretty lukewarm on this tournament. Season is long enough and if a player plays in this tournament and on a team that plays in the cup final that's an awful long season. Also I don't feel the injury risk is worth it for teams that sink or swim with their top players.
The old Canada Cups were great but it's a different time now as players need as much rest as possible in the offseason and we get to see as much hockey as we want on TV whereas in those days you didn't get to see the stars of the game play unless you had season tickets or they were one of the 20 games televised locally or on the odd HNIC Leafs game.
