a. The West is, without doubt, the fiercest front line in recent memory. To imagine trying to stop the high-scoring duo from Edmonton as well as LEG, who exists to make everyone around them a better play...it haunts my dreams. Best of luck to the East. They will need every rabbit's foot and four leaf clover in the tri-state area. 
d. James Ward-Prowse had a solid rookie campaign in one of the best forward rooms of the entire league. His shot% was through the roof and he was averaging nearly a point per game in the playoffs. Maybe that's not "All-Star" material, but it should absolutely be considered for a rookie all-star line :triumph:

3. The most obvious choice for the West for the All-Star roster was LEG. There are very few players who have had both the longevity of success and the high level of success as LEG. Not only have they been in the running for the league's MVP award for 3 seasons in a row, they also are one of the most instrumental players to blame for keeping the Winny Lights as a powerhouse dynasty for the last calendar year. Time moves forward and new youngblood prospects come to take up the mantle, but LEG has stayed the same. Consistently consistent from year to year. The season that LEG misses the All-Star roster is the season that the entire league's landscape changes. Imagine LEG as the royal soldier outside of Buckingham Palace. They are rock solid, not bothered by distractions, and the entire world will watch at the eventual changing of the guard. 

4. One thing about LEG's game which is truly inspiring: they are better when they have trusted teammates. LEG's stats were astronomical just a season ago with the support of fellow winger Mikko Rashford there to cause chaos on the front ice, too. So, now that the All-Star rosters have been announced, there are several candidates from other teams that can take Rashford's place opposite LEG to help the West secure victory. While it might be pretty obvious which forwards performed the best in the regular season (Evan Winter and Benjamin Surkhi-Ze'ev), they are already a power duo and will likely take up the 1st line by themselves. So moving on from them, I believe that the forward that would work best with LEG would be Matsmith Söderberg-Tremblay. The Winny Lights made a move for Söderberg-Tremblay this offseason so LEG and MST have already spent some solid time on the ice together. What better way to increase their chemistry than by beating up the Eastern conference in an All-Star matchup?
