I'd agree that Canada's dominance is kind of killing international tournaments. They've won every best-on-best tournament for 15 years except Turin olympics, and all the womens tournaments on top of that.
Tournaments where you know who wins are not that interesting. I think the interest for the last World Cup was so low in part because it wasn't really competitive. Unless there's more upsets I don't think World Cup of hockey has much chance of growing into a really big event.
