a. For this year’s all star game, I think that the East will have the best top forward line that will score the most goals. The trio of easters forwards is very strong and all three of them are major threats to put the puck in the net every shift. No disrespect to the western top line, I just think the east slightly edges them out. (65 words)
b. While I think the East does have a slight advantage over the West on their top forward line, I think that the opposite is true when it comes to their first defensive pair. Both of the western defenseman are two way forces who can impact the game everywhere. I think that pairing will do a lot of damage in the allstar game. (62 words)

3. Teammate one, +3 TPE
Since I’m finally getting the call-up for next season, that means I am an official member of the Tampa Bay Barracuda once again! The member of the Cuda that made the All Star Game this year was the new acquisition, Winger Rikkert Biemans. Tampa is still an up and coming team with a lot of young talent on the roster, so Biemans was brought in to bolster the forward core with a star player who can help the team develop right now, and still be a great contributor when the core of young players reaches their peak. Biemans was the most obvious choice for a player on the Cuda this year. He had a very strong season offensively, putting up 38 goals and 43 assists for a total of 81 points on a weaker team than average. Biemans had 15 more points than the next highest Cuda, which was sophomore center Johnny Wagner-Svensson. (153 words)
