Currently every team gets to send at least one player to the All-Star game. Are this seasons selections good in terms of team variety? Would you prefer more even selection from all of the teams or more focus to be put on individual performances despite the teams they represent? Do you think it is important for each team to get representation?

I would like to answer the easy question first, which is yes, every team should be allowed to send 1 player to the all star game. It would be bad for the league if the all star game was really just the best team plus like, 2 other players. Every team should get representation. However, after that requirement, no other requirement should exist. If NEW has a C, LW, RW combo that is killing it and has all the stat leads, they should be in it. Not 1 per conference or anything after that. I think the selections this year are fine, and my preference would be for the best players to make it after every team is represented. (119)

The Last Players In are now decided and the rosters are finalized. Who was a good pick? Who got snubbed? +3

By the good graces of being popular and mildly talented, I managed to make the Jr. All star team for the first time. I am very excited for this honor, but as a lot of players pointed out to me in private and public, I may not be the most deserving player to make the cut. In particular @Wasty was a point a game player on the Whalers this season, but they didn't make it in this time. I was not on the same pace, but I like to think what I lacked in point scoring I made up for in blocking and for some reason, faceoffs. Still, I can understand why Niclas Wastlund was deserving. Also, just about any player on Regina would have been a great choice, we really looked good this year. (160)

+8 to bank!
