That's basically why they want to bring back the World Cup. If they can replace olympic hockey with World Cup hockey, they get all the profits.

First paragraph, wrong. They do not shorten the season for the Olympics, they compress the schedule. I am pretty sure they can manage cash flow around that.
But yes a home grown and owned best on best does get them additional revenue.
