Marty Walsh wanted a return to best-on-best international hockey.

The players wanted to be back at the Olympics , where NHLers had not been since 2014 .

Walsh appointed Rob Zepp , the former goaltender, to that area of responsibility.

The 4 Nations Face-Off tournament begins Wednesday in Montreal .

Bettman never believed much in international hockey in the past.

But he has come around to the players’ view on this.

The players, for the most part, love the interaction. Even if it does get complicated with the inclusion or lack or inclusion of Russian players or a Russian team.
