Completely agree with you Eric. The NHL viewers and ticket holders have the power. If we are unwilling to wield that power in a way that meaningfully impacts the NHL, then we have no influence in these decisions. A collective call to boycott the NHL that is heard and heeded by Canadian fans, would pressure the NHL back to the table. We have no history to suggest that will ever happen and therefore we have zero influence and are completely taken for granted in every decision this league makes. The idea of sending an under 23 team would be great, but again would never work in hockey because the best of these players are locked into the NHL.
