2021, huh? So same season as Olympics. Here's a thought, as the World Cup would make the players start earlier as well as delaying the season anyway, how about just starting the season earlier and letting the players play in Olympics instead?
The two shouldn't be connected they are two separate tournaments.
Nationalism is a foreign concept?
I get no sense of pride from Team Canada annihilating team Slovakia. I want my team to beat a run of the best players in the world, I barely care where they are from provided they are a challenge. This is fundamentally why your argument makes no sense.
And who is stopping you? As I said before this tournament is about creating a revenue source for the off season.If I want to watch teams be competitive with no national pride on the line, I just watch NHL.
People in Toronto/Montreal/Chicago want to watch hockey they want it to be competitive. It is the worlds best of the best, it is entirely pointless to copy the Olympics format.
