a. Having multiple players of the same team being able to represent an all-star team can only bode well for said team because in FHM having excellent line chemistry goes a long way to having a great performance. The all-star game is to represent the all-stars of the game and if a team has many all-stars why not send them to the game?
b. I will say the East top defense pairings will be the more exciting d-men to watch for the all-star game. PHI and HAM play a high octane offensive game and what a better way to showcase that in the all-star game where offense will be what excites the fans. Emerson on PHI will be my D-man to watch.

On one hand TPE ranges in the J go from 155 to 425 so it shouldn't really matter. On the other hand, most of the players who lead their team in scoring are going to be ranging from the 350 to 425 caps respectively.  At the same time, you have to account for the fact that all star nominations will come disproportionately from the top ranked teams, many of whom have the lion's share of TPE.  Where in the SHL we see the TPE coming way more into play as players in the league range from 750 to 2000+ as growing players.  Again; the majority of the share of nominations are going to go to players on good teams or leading scorers on teams with low average TPE - usually those in the latter are in the top 3 in TPE on said team.  So honestly I think it's pretty clear that TPE matters.  As for weather it should or not?  TPE governs how high your overall stats are... so if you believe that your all stars should be the best in the league, then yes it should matter.
