I think the comparison to indoor soccer works. Another comparison would be street basketball. I could see 3 on 3 hockey becoming it's own sport much in the same way. Neither basketball or soccer have suffered in any way from those variation sports.

That's true. But the OP also went on record to suggest that within a fairly short period of time 3 v 3 would eventually supplant 5 v 5 in popularity to the extent that the NHL would need to accommodate it.
That will never happen, if for no other reason than that the NHLPA would never concede to decreasing its workforce by 30%.
