we're arguing different things.
I thought the made up teams were fun. But it then becomes a made up tournament (an invitational like the Spengler Cup) not a World Cup. The true World Cup is the annual World Championships every May. It has 16 teams and equal opportunity for all nations. The fact that the NHL can't adjust its season to get the best players there, that's on them. For example the KHL plays from Late August to mid-April. No reason why the NHL cannot have a parallel schedule.
