1 milestone (in case it's needed)


That's quite a difficult question. Can I just go with "either"? Apparently not, so I will pick the group from the West this time. Even though they aren't on the same team in the regular season, they shouldn't have any problems finding chemistry. They all know how to score a lot and it doesn't matter who does it. We know one of them will.

It always makes sense to keep players together that already know each other, so I wouldn't mix them up. Ideally you'd have three forwards from the same team, but if you don't have that you'll work with two and add another player. If two already played together before, they have an advantage already.

Representing the Toronto North Stars at the All Star Game this season is my fellow S70 rookie (who also plays with me on team Finland) William Tree. Quite an impressive young player if you ask me. Comes into a team mostly full of old guys and ends up being the top scorer (30 goals, 42 assists( - I see a bright future there. Reminds me a little of Mika Kandinsky when he was a rookie in Toronto. What do I expect? Obviously there will be many great players in the All Star Game, so William might not stand out quite as much as he did on Toronto last season, but I'm sure he will have a great game and score some goals. Even if not, he should have an amazing time there. As of now he's also the only rookie of any team who made it (not counting other players that might get voted in later).

First of all I would like to have this category renamed to "last player in" and not "last men in" (might've mentioned that last season already and the voting form uses it too btw), but that aside - I'll talk about Toronto, because I played for them last season. Obviously I'm happy that fellow rookie William Tree made it, but if I had to pick a second player from the North Stars, I would probably pick 'grandpa Steve' (Harrington). It's quite impressive to have that many points at his age (or TPE level if you want to look at it that way, much lower than most other top players on other teams for sure). Clearly one of the best offensive players on the team that overall struggled a little in that category. Fellow grandpa Dick Clapper was only one point behind Harrington, and is even older (or had a lower TPE number), so that's another alternative. Have both a rookie and a really old player in the ASG, why not?
