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?

As nice as it can be for every team to have a representative  at the all star game, I feel that the game should be an opportunity to showcase the very best players that the SHL has to offer. If this means that a rebuilding team doesn't send a player to the game, then so be it. The fans are tuning into this game to see how the very best players in each conference match up against each other. I feel that we easily could have seen even more players from the Edmonton Blizzard or the Los Angeles Panthers represented at this year's game without the one player er team rule being in place.

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

Easy answer, Alexi Piastri was snubbed for the all-star game. Nevermind his postseason performance where Piastri led the SHL with 16 goals and led the Panthers with 28 points, Alexi put up a regular season performance worthy of being named to this seasons team. In his first season in Los Angeles after leaving the Minnesota Monarchs, Piastri finished with 32 goals, 62 assists, a +48 plus minus rating, 116 hits, and 7 game winning goals. Piastri led the team in a number of categories. Alexis 94 points were the second highest scoring output of his career, and the second straight season that he amassed over 90 points. Still, the numbers were not enough to convince the committee that he should be a part of the Western Conference team. Piastri seemed to adapt to his new role with the Panthers in the second half of the season. Maybe a more consistent output would have been enough to make the squad. Maybe apiastri was in the shadows a bit with superstars such as Adam Prpich and Derek Martin on the Panthers.
