The players and the fans have been asking for another opportunity to witness best-on-best hockey, whether it was a World Cup or the Olympics. Today, Bettman dropped massive news when he stated that a huge announcement in that regard would be coming soon:

The last time the fans were treated to such a respectable goes back to 2016 when the NHL featured the World Cup before the season. The previous time NHLers featured at the Olympics goes back to 2014 when the Canadians triumphed in Sochi.
Will NHLers be in attendance for the 2026 event in Milan? Will there be a World Cup before these? We'll keep you posted.
