Who else has very little interest in the Four Nations tournament?

Don't really care at all.

It's on the same level as the All Star Game to me, completely meaningless exhibition hockey that interrupts the season. The only country-vs-country tournaments that mean anything are the Olympics or the World Juniors.

The argument is that maybe the players care about it more than us

I'm not really buying it when there's only 4 teams and its in the middle of the season where they all have to go back to the season Healthy to live up to their 10 million $ contracts in the playoffs coming up. Maybe if they keep holding this tournament it will gain weight eventually. Its certainly no olympics

Maybe it'll be a useful precursor to the Olympics going forward? If they keep doing this tournament and add Russia + a Rest of World team then I could see it having a lot of value a half decade or so from now.
