2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Shiny Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 topics related to the All Star Game to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Before last players are picked Edmonton is the only team that has 4 players selected for the game. Among those only defensive pairing from a single team Isaac Forty-One and Emil Egli. They both were traded to new teams this offseason. Would you let them play one more time with each other or would you highlight them with their new teammates Dirty Boots and Brandan Laroux who also made it to the game?

b. Inferno and Panthers got to send two forwards each, Shōyō Hinata and Binko Koivu from Atlanta and Adam Prpich and Derek Martin from Los Angeles. Would you let them show of their chemistry and potentially dominate the game by letting them play on the same line or is All-Star game prime opportunity for them to show their creativity and skill even when playing with other top players?

a. In my opinion you have to let them play together one last time. They racked up all their points playing together. Now that they both got traded to separate teams, they will probably never play together again. It would be lame to have them play with their new teammates since that's going to be the norm moving forward.

b.Split them up. The all star game should be a time to see new and exciting stuff. Don't have the 2 teammates just play with each other when the fans can see that every night. Do something fun and put a fantasy lineup together. It makes it more special to see unique lines

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

The last player in for the East should have been Outdoor Truck. The Big guy from Finland put up an impressive 89 points this past season. That was only five less than his teammate Ivan Lacksamus who go on to the all star roster. He also was a physical force racking up hits with 76 and finishes 5th in plus minus rating with a +34. He put performed other players who made the all star roster and it wasn't even close. It was a tremendous snub to not include him in the original roster. He scored 5 more points than William Tree who got on the roster. I'm not sure how that is even possible a player that much more dominant did not get a spot. He was a major asset to the cup contending team. Not only that Outdoor Truck was a top 20 fantasy player this past season. With accolades like that he better at least be the last player in.
