The simple fact that there is little griping from the NHL teams or player's side about how this will affect top players missing training camp for their teams, shows how much money the league/owners and the NHLPA is making out of this cash cow disguised as an important international hockey tournament. No concerns about injury or players not having insurance, or teams worrying about disrupted chemistry...as with a lot of things, money makes those supposed "issues" from previous tourneys like the Olympics, disappear.
