Adding a strong performance at the World Cup, against the best in the world, would surely help cement the fact that he is indeed an elite player (not that it should be disputed in this case) and should be paid accordingly.

Honestly no it wouldn't. I think it is 100% irrelevant and any effort to include performance from such a short tournament would be laughed at.
Let's put it the other way, if Johnny struggles in the tourney do you think that means he should be paid less in the NHL?
