That way it can run concurrently to the playoffs and start around the time the second round begins. Then once every 4 seasons we could do an olympics with the best on best lineups after playoffs.

Also keeps things fresh with the roster every season for IIHF, and gives the IIHF fed heads more stuff to do

Someone else brought that up too, but doesn’t that just outright kill smaller countries like Ireland, UK, even Austria, and make it so we can just hand the medals to USA, Canada and Russia before the tournament begins?

Plus we just expanded the IIHF.

Yup. We only just have enough players to field a team as it is. If we only had those that missed the playoffs we'd have about a 1/3 of a team, and most of that would be inactives
