The tournament has tremendous value for each of the teams, I would think. Also, most (if not all) of the teams around the league now participate in one of these. Because it is useful.
The fact that different teams have different criteria and different goals/purposes for the event is irrelevant. As long as the games are reasonably competitive (no one would want to see lopsided blowouts), who cares what each team is trying to accomplish with their prospects?
It is an opportunity to see some young guys play, and a chance for them to show the organization what they've got.
How is that a problem in any way? How has it lost its value? Absolutely bizarre take.
