I know that the tournament is being set up to minimize expenses and maximize profits. Toronto is the only host city as to limit travel and hospitality expenses and milk the largest hockey market in the country.

I think they get a flat rate for making the teams and the winners get more. I'm pulling that out of thin air though.
I'm okay with it being in Toronto. They want to minimize their financial risk on the first run through - when it's successful and they have game tape to show how team U23 and Europe stack up, I can see them holding the next one in New York or Chicago. Long term, I think the NHL would want cities to bid on the World Cup.
