The only teams missing that were in the old World Cup are Germany and Slovakia, and they are sending all of their NHLers except for two or three. I don't see how sitting guys like Kopitar, Josi, Anderson and Zuccarello so Goc, Jurco and a bunch of nobodies can play instead would make the tournament any better.

Anyone remember the United European Team in the '92 Olympics? Did that make the Olympics nothing more than a throw away event that no one cared about?
