I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing that at least one player from each team is sent to the all star game. I think it is good for the fans to have something to cheer for and make sure that those fans actually have a reason to watch the ASG. I do think that there are frequently deserving players that are snubbed because the best player from a bad team who genuinely didn't deserve to make the ASG was sent just to fill a requirement, and of course there is an argument to be made that the last man in votes attempt to remedy this. But there are times where three forwards are snubbed, and there's only one open spot. Or when a goalie is left out because one of the two included was just sent since they were the best on their team. It sucks to be those guys and I think there has to be some kind of remedy, maybe a first second and third line all-SHL team each season or something like that.
