I dunno - I'd like to see the college and juniors have a go at the other teams again. I love the current system allowing the pros but I also like the original concept too. I loves me an underdog.

The KHL, SEL, etc would still be sending their best players though. The North American teams wouldn't fair very well.

Zidlicky, Sykora, Elias, Parise, Kovalchuk, Volchenkov, Zubrus will be there.

If Zubrus plays for Russia.

Zubrus is Lithuanian, he has no reason to play for Russia, and I don't believe he ever has either. He'll also be pretty old when the rosters are selected in two years.

Parise will probably be the captain of the American team.

Zubrus played for Russia in the 2004 World Cup and Lithiuania since then. His reasoning is that he is more valuable to them

True, but after the next lockout (Fall 2012), the NHL will fold so the players will be free to do as they please
