How much of a correlation do you think there is between TPE and an all-star nod? Should there be more, or less, than there is?

When it comes to TPE, I do believe it has a lot to do with getting an all-star nod. I believe this because higher TPE means you are playing on the top line of a team, no matter what the position you may be playing. By playing on the top line of a team, you are clearly getting the most amount of minutes of time on ice, which will give you a better opportunity to be able to get the stats you need to be able to be picked. This may not be the case for all players with high TPE though, since some top players are on a bad team and they get absolutely waxed by other top teams, which causes their stats to be minimal, or in the case of +/-, negative stats which do not earn you an all-star spot. When you look at the all-star list, this shows from the minimal amount of players from teams like MON, TOR to name a few.

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write about your team's candidate for last man in instead.)

Although I am not on Buffalo yet, these will be my future teammates, and the one that was an obvious choice was definitely Konstantin Selich. If you have not looked at the index recently, you may not know who that is, but they are clearly the points leader in the entire SHL, so of course they are a clear pick. Selich's linemate Lakemore, who is also an all-star was a main contributor why they made it from the 80 assists they achieved throughout the season. Selich finished the season with 127 points, which gave them 47 goals alongside those 80 assists I mentioned earlier. I expect Selich to perform during the all-star game, not just to show the talent on Buffalo, but to show the Western conference that the players from the Eastern conference are not to be messed with. Selich should finish with at least 2 points, and if they do not achieve that, I would say it would be a disappointment for them.
