World Cup of Hockey to include All-Star teams?

As Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reported on Monday, the NHL is considering a Ryder Cup-style European All-Star team that would be comprised of players from nations that aren?t represented in the Big Six. Anze Kopitar, Marian Hossa, Marian Gaborik, Zdeno Chara, Jaroslav Halak, Jonas Hiller, Nino Niederreitter and others would star on this squad.
The other squad will also be an all-star team comprised of North American NHL players. I?ve heard two different concepts for this team, both of them intriguing:

North American Young Stars: Players under a certain age (let?s throw out 24 years old as a possibility) that don?t make the Canadian or American teams band together and try to take out their elders.

North American ?B? Team: Like something out of a Disney movie, all the North American players that were cut from the Canadian and American teams join together in a ragtag team of ?B? players.

I definitely like the idea of the non-Big Six All-Star team. Would be more entertaining than watching Slovakia and Switzerland that's for sure. And having a B team playing in a tournament like this is something fans have always kind of joked about, it'd be interesting to see how they'd actually preform.
