Canadian and American guys probably doesn't care, i think Finnish players enjoy it a lot. Dunno about Swedes.
That said, Czechs should definetly be in. I definetly understand why Russia isn't in, but obviously it makes this tournament less interesting. As an European i'm used to these international breaks, although those games are meaningful. If you take it just as an exhibition, i guess it would be fun to watch all the best guys together after a long while.
