Nobody will take it seriously this year, as many of the team playing there doesn't deserve to be there, maybe in the future when it comes truly best on best tournament.
It doesn't matter if this tournament is "best on best" or not. It's all about money flow. If there would be profit from it, then it would success. If not, it would fail.
And knowing that richest European countries don't give a **** about hockey I think it would be latter case.
It could be even sad a little, if it wasn't so evidently clear from the beginning.
