a. I would honestly play them together as a final hooray for both players for atleast half the game just because they were traded in the offseason which means they likely didn't get a final goodbye as some players would maybe like. It would be a cool thing to do for both the players assuming they would like it and the fans of Edmonton. (60 words)

b. I generally believe the All Star game is more so for the fans, So I personally would play them together for the fans of the Los Angeles Panthers, generally speaking it will make it more fun for those fans to watch the game, and if they dominate that is a plus, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter unless the fans hated watching the game.

c. I would argue the goaltender who played the best throughout the season should start in goal, at the end of the day the all star game rewards players for having a good season, the game is not about experience or who should start, the players who performed deserved to be there and deserved to play, picking based off anything other than this season performance is doing a disservice.

d. I think having more player representation from the hosting team is obviously important because it will help put fans in the seat. As previously mentioned, this game is mostly for the fans. I think it also matters for the players as they performed for these fans and should be given the opportunity to show the fans again why they are they and kind of show their "appreciation" for them as well.

I personally think the representation is good in terms of variety of teams and players in the game. I think if the All star game was actually about performances then realistically representation should not matter, but the reality is that the game is about the fans, and a lot of casual fans attach to star players of their respective teams, by not having players from every team, means the league risks eyes, ticket sales and exposure for the league from markets that do not send a player or teams that are rebuilding. At the end of the day for the leagues sake it is important to have someone from each team there, but it just means the All star nomination is not as important or prestigious as it once was.
