Beyond that, a game would be free advertising for the sport of hockey in a time when it is otherwise getting zero attention.

Seriously Capn?
No way in HELL the NHL would authorize or appreciate an NHLPA organized event, or any quasi-allstar game.
And the team or GM, or city that booked it would be on Bettman's **** list.
No question about it.
