1. Milestones +2TPE- Dash Jackson

5. Written, +3 TPE, Let me do it 178WC
Anyone who was in drafting pool, but was not selected for All-Star game will take part in skill competition instead (and don’t really know what how that will end up looking like). But all of those players got close but ultimately were passed on by GMs making the picks. But what they got wrong? Who from skill competition should have been in All-star game and who would you replace to make room for them?

I feel like the committee got a few wrong on a lot of deserving players. I understand that there is only a limited number of spots but out of the list of draftees that got left behind 2 or 3 of them really caught my eye, not only on the list but during the season. 1st one is Jack St Clair from Toronto unbelievable that he was left out, time and time again i watched him come up clutch from the games i watched due in part of the Primetime PT's. 2nd player is Theodore Svatos from Edmonton (No i didn't pick him because he is my Future GM) Edmonton may have had an off year but Theo was a huge difference maker on a reeling team, he was certainly overlooked because of that. Lastly Justin Time from the SF Pride! How is this dude not in? minding the net for a SHL champion isn't enough to make the All star game? just seems completely disrespectful in my eyes even if he had lesser statistics than Grez or Devoir.

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. Which of the three Montreal players would have been best addition to either of the teams?

b. Nash Topalo and Seamus O'Slapahan were only defencemen picked in top 10. Were they two best options this season? Should there have been more picked early on?

c. Which of the teams could have better top line (center and two wingers), WhiteFuzz with Johnny Wagner-Svenson - Viktor Hargreeves - Antoine Beauregard or JRuke with Erik Bergmark - Derek Martin - Aksel Fiske? Why you think they are better?

d. Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz and Sir Devoir were picked with back to back picks and thus both teams secured their started. Does either side have advantage on net? Back up goalies were picked lot later, do you think they can play role in the game at all?
e. Why should YOUR player have made the all star game, and why should you be the last man in? (If your player did make the all star game, tell us why they were picked.)

2A. +1TPE. For me It's between Jussi Mutou and Damien Hirano, you can make an argument for both and no disrespect to Valerija Serapin but i just don't see All star. However I personally give the nod to Hirano and its pretty close. Mutou had a team high 91 Giveaways that's no bueno and Damien had ONE more GWG. That's all i got! (61WC)

2B. +1TPE. They absolutely tore it up this season! but Willow Soderberg-Snooks 100% should've been the 1st dman selected hands down, led the league in Points and Assists (and 2nd in shots) by a defensemen and was a huge part of San Francisco's run to the Challenge Cup. WS-S was statistically better in ALMOST every category than Nash and Seamus (59WC)

2E. +1TPE. My Player? LOL he wasn't deserving of an all star bid and probably never will, not because of effort or activity. just simply because of his role. No offensive prowess but 248 blocked shots over 66 games is nothing to bat an eye at. That and the fact he not in the SHL YET. If an all star bid can be obtained by someone with just great defensive play he'll be a 10x all star.(75WC)
