Looks like another "best on best" international tournament is on the horizon. Looking forward to upcoming details.

Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
I assume that's why it's being held before the season. So that the teams can actually be loaded with the best players.Originally Posted by Fast Tony DeNiro
Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
I suspect the announcement of this tournament will lead to an announcement that the NHL is not sending players to the next Olympics, which is a real shame. Even if you have all the best players in the world playing in this tournament it won't be as big or as special as being apart of the Olympic games.
I hope I'm wrong but I bet the NHL looks at all the revenue that is made from the Olympics, and the costs of disrupting the season, and says "hey we can do that and keep all the money".

Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
The NHL absolutely looks at the revenue. It's a business after all.
I'm actually all for it. I bet the best will play for the most part. It's inevitable that this would happen though, I think. Once the scare of the Russians jumping ship to play in Sochi was passed, there was really no reason not to.

Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
I have a hard time seeing the NHL sending players to South Korea for the upcoming Winter Olympics in a few years.
This may fill the void.

Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
Update as per Darren Dreger
World Cup Update
The NHL, NHL Players' Association and International Ice Hockey Federation met on Wednesday in New York regarding the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. While the meeting was described as productive, it's still believed an announcement is at least a month away.
Toronto will host the event in September of 2016, but it's still unknown as to which countries - or how many - will participate.
For now, the World Cup of Hockey will remain in North America and is expected to generate a bidding war between potential future host cities, including those in Europe.

A look at the possible ramifications a World Cup could have on the NHL's partnership with the IOC.

Re: World Cup of hockey 2016
Radical, and I mean radical changes possible for the upcoming World Cup of hockey as officials mulling over the idea of adding a couple of all star teams to compete with the top rated nation!? I am personally not a fan of this idea.
