Why not. It would be a fun thing.
All players would be available because its offseason

12 nations.

Place: Halifax and Quebec

born 2001 are the oldest players allowed to play.

How would you guys rank the teams? Canada would be
favorites.

Serious tournament. No gimmick teams like in
World Cup 2016.

Feel free to correct my rosters or make
your own rosters.

And before you all starts to laugh
about me having Lambert on team Finland. Think about
it, he would be a perfect 4th liner.

Doubt NHL teams would ever be for this. It's already tough to convince them to go for Olympics, no way would most of them even consider sending their best young players.

But yes, I would say they SHOULD, because it would be great.

No chance players would bother showing up. The 2022 summer tournament had tons of players not show up, and it would be far worse if it was 22 year olds who are already on NHL teams or close to making those rosters.

Most NHL players wouldn't go due to injury risk that could throw off their offseason.

Same thing for prospects pushing for spots or draft.

Most countries would have their B/C teams.

I appreciate the effort you put into this but I want a best on best at last. No age restrictions. McDavid, MacKinnon, Crosby, Marner, Barzal, Marchand etc etc all on the same team. It's been beyond long enough.

That Canadian team would be untochable IMO. Actually, US might look stronger on paper. Czechs pass on this one.lol
 
August is still summer and if you don't have better things to do with your time in summer than to watch hockey it makes you a quite sad person.

This would be cool but I'd question the amount of participation you'd get from players. An under 23 or 25 or whatever tournament would be sweet.

He is Czech - Albanian to my knowledge. He has said he'd play for the Czechs but the rules are tricky. I'd take him though.. love to see him punch a few people at a Skoda Cup. Put him with Gudas as our 2nd pair.. and then challenge our opponents to dump it in.lol

When they held the covid WJC in the summer, I didn't watch one second of it.

It just doesn't vibe with me.
 
First of I thought No! But then I feel it would be a great competition for youbg players in need of taking the last step. It will be a good learning for yoingplayers, while get a chance to showcase themselfs.
